Quick weight by weight breakdown with the wrestlestat prediction listed (of wrestlers in most recent dual). Dresser stated that a few of our guys could be back Tuesday though.

125 - #59 Perryman vs #80 Moreno - wrestlestat has this as a 13-4 MD for Perryman. I expect it to be a bit closer, but still would love to see Ethan get a W.

133 - #123 Meza vs #7 Larkin - wrestlestat has this 17-2 TF for Larkin. Would assume there is familiarity here which could help Meza, but still a tough one for him.

141 - #4 Echemendia vs #41 Manville - wrestlestat says 11-4 Ech. I do believe Manville is better than 41, but I’d also expect Ech to work him on their feet for bonus.

149 - #7 Frost vs #20 Larkin - wrestlestat has Larkin winning 10-7. I believe this is a match that Jacob can and may win if it is close late. I like his tank. I could also see Larkin getting a flurry early, the marquee match up. Wouldn’t surprise me at all for ASU to flip and try to start 157 as I believe Larkin manages weight for 149.

157 - #61 Naaktgeboren vs #34 McLane - wrestlestat says 7-6 McLane. A schance for Naak to bounce back after Stanford against decent competition.

165 - #26 Euton vs #21 Ruiz - wrestlestat has it 9-7 in favor of Euton. 2nd best match of the dual. Another chance for Euton to get a solid ranked win.

174 - Riggins vs Valencia - no prediction here as Riggins is listed at 165. I believe he will win by decision here. He has his flaws but his performances are pretty steady.

184 - #24 Dean vs #50 Addison - wrestlestat has this 6-5 Addison. I liked what I saw out of Dean on Sunday, he was a bit more on the attack and I’ll take him in a close one here.

197 - #79 Carter vs #162 Schunke - wrestlestat has this as a victory by decision over either of ASU’s 197 options. Would be great for CJ to pick up a win in spot duty.

285 - #1 Bastida vs #14 Szuba - wrestlestat says 8-4 Bastida. I say bonus points Bastida.

Wrestlestat prediction: 16-14 ISU (doesn’t include 174)

My prediction: 23-10 good guys.
 
Wrestling community is pretty connected so I'm guessing anyone who is attending the dual knows but:

There is a pre/post gathering at Pedal Haus restaurant: 730 S Mill Ave #102, Tempe, AZ 85281. Dresser will be in attendance post dual.
 
Don't know if the final word but Track wrestling already shows lineups for both teams. Poulin, Meza, Ech, Frost, Zerban (vs Larkin at 157), Euton, Gaitan, Dean, Carter, Bastida.
