My predictions

125 - Mackall wbd 3-0 ISU
133 - Gomez wbd 6-0 ISU - this match could go either way. Erneste is dangerous and I could see Gomez going to his back, but I’m picking a close win.
141 - Eierman wbd 6-3 ISU - have to watch out for the cradles here
149 - Degen wbd 9-3 ISU - another gossip, but Degen is too funky
157 - Jacques wbd 9-6 ISU - will be a close match
165 - Flynn wmd 10-9 Mizzou - need to limit the bonus here
174 - Lewis wbf 16-9 Mizzou
184 - Colbray wbd 16-12 Mizzou
197 - Miklus wbd 16-15 Mizzou
285 - Elam wbd 19-15 Mizzou

This will be a fun dual. 33, 41, 49, and 57 should all be close matches. I think ISU needs to pick off 3 of those matches and limit the bonus at other weights to get the win


Since you are one of the guys who actually knows what he is talking about, are there particular matches that you think could be affected by a great crowd. Somebody for us who may take it to another level with monstrous fan support? Or somebody for them who might crumble because of the intimidation of the crowd?

Have to think that a load Cyclone crowd will help.
They wrestled in Iowa City & did fine.
Will find out how they handle West Gym

It’s tough to say. I partly agree with Buf that 2 possibilities might be 33 and 49. Erneste is a big 33, and combined with the crowd and Gomez’s pace I could see him fade in the 3rd. Mauler is a true freshman and Degen also goes at a really hard pace. The crowd could be a factor in that one as well. I don’t see it being a factor at 141 because Eierman has been in so many big matches and if anything seems like he would feed off the crowd.

Another possibility could be heavyweight. I haven’t watched Elam much this year, but he is a freshman. Gremmel is a guy that can really respond to the energy in Hilton and I expect him to be very fired up.

I am guessing that 6k does not include the people that are donors that got 2 free tickets?

I plan to take my 2 oldest kids and my brother-in-law, sister and their kid are all planning on going.
