Wrestling NCAA Bracket Reveal Thread

[jmadden1998]

Full brackets up on Track
Hildebrandt - 16
RBY - 1
Lee - 1
Bartlett - 13 (Would have No. 4 Sasso R2)
Berge - 16 (Another horrible draw, Carr R2)
Starocci - 1 (Tough draw with Labriola the 8. Hidlay and Kemerer 4/5)
Brooks - 2 (Amine the 1, Hidlay the 3)
Dean - 1 (Aiello/Norfleet R2, then Deprez/Caffey likely and Brucki/Nino the 4/5)
Kerk - 4 (Hendrickson the 5, Parris the 7 behind Wood, which is absurd)

Can you link it? I can’t find them

Young 9, Berge 16….guess I was hallucinating on my own farts last weekend.

WOW. That’s just insane.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Brooks and Assad round 2?


We’re so screwed….

 

[amattaro]

WOW. That’s just insane.

The seeding or the farts thing?

 

[jmadden1998]

If Marinelli doesn’t make the semis this year he really messed up!

 

[jmadden1998]

O’Toole could get Valencia in the 2nd round

 

[McScoreley]

If Marinelli doesn’t make the semis this year he really messed up!

True statement ... I was hoping he'd draw Griffith or Kharchla lol.

For the hammers he could meet in the semis, I think O'Toole is probably the most favorable matchup for him.

 

[KidDagger]

Link to actual brackets?? Can’t find it

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Man, if you're Iowa or UM you have to be over the moon with your draws compared to PSU.

 

[johnstownsteel]

If Assad is able to win his first round match, AB awaits in the second. @johnstownsteel @js0873

We’re so screwed…

 

[McScoreley]

Man, if you're Iowa or UM you have to be over the moon with your draws compared to PSU.

At least Cass earned his right to be on the opposite side of Gable, Parris got it by losing to Kerk lol.

Kharchla losing twice at Big 10’s killed him.

 

[KCLion]

O’Toole could get Valencia in the 2nd round

O’Toole is fun to watch, but damn, he can get really sloppy at times. I think he beats Valencia. Valencia looks “tired” to me and I don’t just mean “gassed” at the end of a match.

 

[a_mshaffer]

I would take Bolen over Assad but I hope it's Assad. Bolen is a very annoying second round draw, almost impossible to bonus and tends to keep it close with anyone.

Except when Marky head locked him at the scuffle

 

[js8793]

Brooks and Assad round 2?


We’re so screwed….

 

[McScoreley]

Bartlett to the semis! He's been close to Sasso and beat Parco. Am I doing this right?

You have to add something about him being able to score on anyone, but that he just needs to keep attacking.

 

[McScoreley]

We will need to do work on the backside big time. Bonus will be tough to come by for our hammers on the front side also. At least (knock on wood), we appear to be healthy. Let's dance.

[NittanyChris]

Wow, there was some stern punishment for the MFFs!

 

[RB-Old]

Schultz sitting out the PSU dual changed the whole bracket. I'm guessing Kerk will finally beat Cassiopi in the 3rd place match.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

We have two real bad draws, but everyone still has to wrestle.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Looks like another National Championship to me folks!

 

[RB-Old]

On a positive not Kerk may bonus his way to the semis.

Brackets are here...

Frankly, I don't see anything horrible. I don't quite understand the DeSanto thing, and will look at the brackets closer in the next several days, but overall not bad.

One thing missed by many (not all of you of course) is the fact that most of the hay is made in wrestlebacks. Keeping that in mind, one has to break down more than just the championship bracket.

Is there any website that makes it HARDER to find what you want than trackwrestling.com ??

Perfect. Thanks Roar!

See post #107.

 

[johnstownsteel]

How the f*** does Brian Meyer, who barely made his way in with an at large selection that really should have gone to Edsell get the 17 seed?

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Schultz Parris Quarter is pretty intriguing.

 

[GantryZ]

O’Toole is fun to watch, but damn, he can get really sloppy at times. I think he beats Valencia. Valencia looks “tired” to me and I don’t just mean “gassed” at the end of a match.

O'Toole pinned Valencia this year and teched him last year at NCAAs. Never say never with AV, but I don't think he's worrying too much about that matchup.

 

[El-Jefe]

I would take Bolen over Assad but I hope it's Assad. Bolen is a very annoying second round draw, almost impossible to bonus and tends to keep it close with anyone.

I'd rather saddle Iowa with a loss and deny them that 1 pt for a win.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

From a quick glance, several early Iowa-UM matchups where they could split and alternate sending the other to consis. Plus, Murin gets Yianni early and Young would get Carr just 1 rd after Berge.
The consy deep dive will be interesting

 

[nittinsc]

I think brackets merit 3 separate threads lol

We're up to two now.

 

[El-Jefe]

This is coach-speak that I've never understood.

The best way to score team points is to win your weight. The next best way is to finish 2nd.

Of course only 20 guys can do that. For everyone else, the best way to make hay in wrestlebacks is to stay out of them for as long as possible.

 

[RB-Old]

5 champs
1 3rd- Kerk
1 5th- Berge
1 6th- Hilde

 

[johnstownsteel]

Hey @js8793 , I’m thinking Mr.Assad is pissed at folks for doubting us that Abe is this years 184lb champ.

 

[SCub]

If I were David Carr I wouldn’t want to wrestle Berge in round 2. While he clearly is favored Berge’s style and skill isn’t typically seen in round 2 by the top seed.

Witty banter aside, if what he alleges is true (the FB post was deleted), that's yet another black eye for the Iowa Athletics fan base.
