Nice job, Tim. Some thoughts on tomorrow's matches ...
125:
Conaway vs. Scott Parker (Lehigh)
- Parker has been tough this year. They met in the Lehigh dual in November, with JC winning 4-3. In that match they were scoreless after the 1st, Parker got a reversal from bottom in the 2nd. In the 3rd, JC escaped after 45 sec, and got a TD. Parker got a late esc for the final score of 4-3, JC
133:
Gulibon vs. Ryan Taylor (Wisky)
- These 2 battled in the B1G semis. Taylor won 7-5 SV. Jimmy can beat Taylor, but he's going to have to avoid mental mistakes that have plagued him at times. Taylor has been on a roll
149:
Beitz vs. Alec Pantaleo (Michigan)
- These 2 battled in the consolation semis of the B1G tourney, with Pantaleo winning 3-1. In the regular season, Beitz defeated Pantaleo by the score of 6-4, getting the victory with a last second TD. Not a lot of separation between these guys in their prior meetings this season.
174:
Brown vs. Zach Epperly (Va Tech)
- These 2 met in December in a dual match. Brown had the lead in the match, but Epperly scored a late TD to tie and rode out Brown to send it to OT. Brown shot in SV, but Epperly scored a TD on a counter. Brown has to want a little payback, but Epperly can be dangerous.
184:
McCutcheon vs. Kenny Courts (Ohio State)
- These 2 met in a dual in January. It was scoreless after the 1st, though Courts was the aggressor. Cutch led by 1-0 after the 2nd, though Courts was getting in deep. In the 3rd, Courts got an esc, then got a TD, and then rode Cutch for over 1 min to get RT. Cutch got the esc to make it 2-3, but couldn't get a late TD, and lost 2-4 with RT.
197:
McIntosh vs. Conner Hartmann (Duke)
- these 2 did not meet this year. McIntosh has been on a roll of late
285:
Lawson vs. Nick Gwiazdowski (NC State)
- Certainly the toughest matchup a PSUer faces in tomorrow's bouts. Gwiz is the #1 seed at 285, and the returning champion. LawDog has the athleticism to stay with Gwiaz, but he'll have to bring his A game to the match.
