Iowa

The dual being at Carver-Hawkeye gives me a pause. We have the ability to win or lose at 17-15 to 15-17. Or a 16-16 score with either Iowa or OSU winning on criteria.

Me as well… I know last season and old staff but everyone was really high on our team last year with the dual in Stillwater. Didn’t we only get 2 wins? 133 and 184? We really $hit the bed last year. I know, total different season but being that dual is in Iowa, I’ll believe it when I see it.

I get what you're saying but once PSU had the better team, we miraculously starting winning at Carver. The better team will win. DT needs to convince the team that they are the better team. There is no mystery with Carver. It's mental.

Capt Obvious but I think the biggest factor will be us limiting bonus. I think as long as guys like Wit or Fish don't put themselves in bad positions we win.

Intermat's rankings on Iowa have really diverged from Flo's rankings this week. That puts them at a season high -10.9 in expected points.



As recently as January 21 Intermat had Iowa scoring more than Flo.



On the Oklahoma State side there is little disagreement as the spread between the two has never hit 3 points.





Clearly, Iowa has the edge in a tournament structure at this point. But how do the dual lineups look using the average ranking of Intermat, Flo, and Wrestlestat?

5-5.

It looks like it comes down to bonus points.



And OSU does have Pinfalldrickson, so...

And Iowa will probably use Cullan and Nelson at 141 and 174 which will make things look worse if you run those guys

What about Ferrari at 184? Given Brands' prior statements about his usage (use all 5 dates, not against cupcakes) it seems like he would be the choice.

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t Angelo.

 

[vhsalum]

It's going to be Angelo. And a lot of people think he wins. Would love to see it, but that's not how i view it.

I was talking about NCAA not the dual my bad. Angelo vs Plott will be a fun one

Most excited for Surber/Buchannan...I think it could be a very close match. Buchanan is good but I watched the Minnesota dual and he didn't do much of anything and got a takedown at the end of the match to make it look a little more dominant...Salazar is a good wrestler but he def doesn't have some of Surber.

How tall is Carter Young? I wonder if he could potentially pose a threat to Parco...Parco is only 5'7 and Young just seems a lot taller/lankier..

Lovett is taller than Young and it hasn't helped him. Buchanan is a good finisher and Surber is hard to finish on. I'm not sure if Surber can take Buchanan down more than once . Buchanan seems to be able to get a takedown when he needs one

I think Buchanan is a bad matchup for Surber. Just so much more dynamic. Surber is a tough dude though.

And how the hell has Carter's height/length helped him at all? Ever in folk? he ain't that type of wrestler.

Surber is a bad matchup for anybody due to his scrambling ability. However, Buchanon finds ways to win and gets his points when they're needed. It is super hard to pick Surber here, but it should be fun!

Carter just needs to transition his offense to finishing instead of just getting in. Parco has very good D, this is a tough one for Carter.

This has "just" been Carter's problem for how long though?

It just ain't in the cards.

Sure he will also.

Buchanan good on top and hard to score on. Hope Luke can get the 1st takedown but never easy v Buch
