The annual Cy-Hawk dual is set for Saturday night - BTN+ is the viewing method for those interested

On paper - there are a few good matches if both teams are at full strength ---

Ayala/Frost
Echemendia/Parco
Kueter/Bastida

Can Christian Carroll give Buchanan a worthy match? Upset alert?

thoughts?
 
125 Cruz or Petersen vs Terukina
I think Petersen goes here, but Terukina gets the win.
0-3

133 Ayala vs Frost
Could see Frost getting the win obviously but I think Ayala takes it.
3-3

141 Block vs Redding
Redding the slight favorite, could definitely see Block winning, but give me Redding
3-6

149 Parco vs Echemendia
Again, could see Echemendia with the slight upset, but Parco showed he can be a hammer on top. Because of his top game that he showed, give me Parco
6-6

157 Teemer vs Johnson
Another great match. I think Johnson has the speed and power to hang with Teemer and beat him. However, conditioning has always been a question. Ill take Teemer
9-6

165 Caliendo vs Gaitan
I think Caliendo has seperated himself from everyone but one. Showed a lot of heart coming back to beat Garvin. We've seen Garvin lose steam more than once so far this year. I'll pick Caliendo against everyone this year other than MM until proven otherwise.
12-6

174 Brands/Kennedy vs Riggins
Interesting to see who they send out here. Room familiarity is a real thing. I think Kennedy is a better bet to win with his more diverse offense, or just the fact that he has offense. If Brands goes, I'm taking Riggins with a huge upset. If its Kennedy, I'm taking Kennedy. For the sake of score predictions, Ill say Brands goes, plus it makes it more interesting.
12-9

184 Arnold vs Bockman
I'm taking Arnold here with the only bonus of the night. The 3 pt takedown really increases the chances of bonus points and I think he'll be pushing for it since they may end up needing it.
16-9

197 Buchanon vs Carrol
Do I think Carrol can beat Buchanon, yes. Do I think he will this year, also yes. Do I think he does it for his first match ( I believe ) in Carver? No. Ill take Buchanon
19-9

HWT Keuter vs Bastida
Keuter is going to make noise this year. Bastida is a very strong, athletic heavyweight and I need to see how Keuter does against that kind of heavyweight before picking him to beat someone like that. Give me Bastida
19-12

Does Swiderski being out impact the dual that much? Also, I was watching the ISU/Navy dual last night on ESPN+ and they said Paniro is serving some sort of suspension to start the year. FWIW, Carroll looked pretty darn tough dismantling Preston Thomas in the Navy dual and he took out Cass at the OTT. My gut says the match with Buchanan is gonna be a dog fight regardless of who wins.
 
Wasn’t Bastida going to be in the All Star Classic but then dropped out. We know Kerk dropped due to family commitment, did they ever say why Bastida dropped?

Bastida a little dinged up. Haven't heard anything new, but original thought was he could be back by Sat.
