Yesterday morning there were still a few seats left, but they must have sold them at the window during the match with American. Lehigh won easily although Minnotti and Ian Brown did not wrestle. I am not sure if they will be available for the PSU match. Lehigh is probably only favored at Hwt. Several matches should be competitive - the two Cruzs, and 184.

Lehigh will be favored at 184
 
...jes a reminder - Lehigh beat NCAA Champion Ohio State last year in the National Duals...they are now 12-1...
...this year I think they are favored
at 141#, 165#, 184# and Hwt. ...
...PSU is favored at 125#, 149#, 157#, 174#, and 197#...
...133# could go either way...Beckmann is starting to get his confidence back...
...I look for a 6-4 or 5-5 match, with bonus points being crucial...
...as usual...

Wow! This is a wildly optimistic outlook for Lehigh. PSU is heavily favored in the five matches you mention. PSU is also favored at 133 and 141. Close matches at the Scuffle give Lehigh only a slight edge at 165. That leaves Lehigh favored at 184 and 285 (assuming no Nevills).
 
...there is no question that Lehigh wrestles an easier schedule than PSU but that is because the EIWA schools are not as highly rated as the Big10...still they beat Navy 30-3, Oklahoma 30-7, Cornell 25-13 and Edinboro 36-6...
...125 Cruz is 22-4, 141 Cruz is EIWA champ and 16-5 - including a win over Nebraska's Abidin, 165 Preisch has already beaten both Hammond and Rasheed at the SS, 184 Brown (who beat Cutch twice last year 10-2 and 4-0) is 25-2 w/ 8 tfs and Hwt Wessel is 18-3 ...
...just saying they can't be taken for granted...

I expect a competitive match... 184 is definitely the match I'm most interested in. Can Cutch continue his run of avenging losses from previous seasons? Brown will be his toughest test to date.
