Any draw is harder at less than 100. The question is how much less. I think a 90 percent Josh can still win his way to the podium.

Well it depends. If we get backside big Tens Davis, then he has a real shot at Friday night, but if we get "roll around and find out" Davis, then we probably see Nagao last year results.
Little has been fighting concussion symptoms. He went down with HNC injury time during the match with Barr and then again against Ferrari in his 2-0 loss last week.
Best in recent memory. 125-141-157-165-174-184-285 all will make the finals if they wrestle "great". 149 and 197 worst case scenario 3rd. 133 mid AA. What a fu$$ing team!
If we wrestle competently, it’s going to be a blitzkrieg. Lots of big, early bonus opportunities
Does anyone else realize just what these seeds have done to MSU158s math laboratory? The poor thing has to go back down there and spend 12 hours a day until next Thursday working out new equations and dissertations because Kerk didn't get the 4, and we got qualifiers for the one seeds in round one in 4 different weight classes, with favorable draws in 8 out of 10 weights.
The poor guy is over there now wringing his hands with textbooks and studies scattered everywhere

Kinda nasty of NCAA to make the Stout brothers face each other in Round 2. They really couldn't have swapped Luke with Little or Munoz or Salazar?
I called Kerk getting the 3. Guess there's someone with common sense after all Jefe. Lol
SVN will not lose to Lovett again.
Or Feldman could put it together for the first time this year …
Will be worth watching.
Pitzer is going to knock someone off. I'm calling that one now.
Absolutely, getting a 6th year senior who is up a weight, who is also banged up...about as good of a draw as possible with Barr's status questionable.
Love the draws. By the end of the quarters. we should be well on our way to another team title.
After a second look, I dont think we could have asked for anything better than what we got.
To give one data point for a single NCAA Championships, last year a full 29% of bouts were won by the lower seed. Granted, many were close seeds (#9 over #8, #17 over #16, etc.), but a good many were not. At 125 alone, the seed separations in the championship bracket consisted of a difference of; 1, 23, 7, 13, 3, 7, 8, and 5. Upsets are common, and something that makes the national tourney all the more fun.
Barr/Beard quarter will be good. I like Barr's draw a lot. Being opposite of Buchanan and AJ is the best we could ask for.
Brock Hardy has tough quarter
Teemer got the 18 seed (!) and Shapiro in Round 2. Oof.
Well, of Ferrari, Buchanan and Cardenas, I think Cardenas is easily the best draw for Barr. Quarter draw is far secondary to the Semi draw.
No he hasn’t. He’s making the finals. Ye of little faith😉
Pitzer gets Trumble in Round 2. They split matches this year, 10-1 Trumble in the dual, 4-1 Pitzer at ACCs.
The team title is wrapped up right now.
Ayala-Bouzakis could be before that. Puncher’s chance and all ..
Ayala isn't going anywhere near Bouzakis. Take him down let him up. Bouzakis is dangerous for anyone who has not felt him...or Davis of course 😂
That is just messed up
I'm going through now to see who I think will be our closest competitor. It won't be David Taylor. Lol
Multiple possibilities we may see Cael v DT coaching vs each other in critical matchups:
Everyone has circled:
174: Levi v Hamiti, probable 2/3 semi.
285: Kerk v Henderickson, probable 2/3 semi.
But also lurking:
184: Starocci v Plott, possible 1/4 semi
141: Bartlett v Jamison, possible 2/7 quarter
165: Mesenbrink v Amine, possible 1/8 quarter.

Just common sense. Are coaches notified of brackets before public. I would think if so, both coaches of Stout Brothers could of petioned a change on draw. If they lowered one of them I'm certain neither brother would of complained.
Feels like it will be Oklahoma State or Nebraska.
Iowa, with a weak 125, no 141 (edit), Teemer vs Shapiro Rd 2, Arnold doing Arnold things . . . .
Iowa needs to peak to take 2nd I feel.
If Kueter (nice path) & someone else goes on a serious run, Iowa could finish 2nd.
I saw possible Hamiti/Kennedy quarter. No idea if the two ever met but I think Kennedy matches up well and could upset him.
