Can't wait for this dual. @crablegs is claiming on the PSU boards that Ayala is injured and won't be wrestling, which would be a major blow to Iowa's chances. Below are my predictions if Ayala goes:

125- Ayala by decision in a minor upset. 3-0 Iowa
133- Desanto hasn't beat RBY in a long time, and don't think he does Friday. 3-3
141- Lee is just wrestling better than Eierman right now, don't see Lee losing this one. 6-3 PSU
149- Must win here for Iowa. I think it will be close, but Murin wins on a late TD. 6-6
157- KY will win by 3-4 points. 9-6 Iowa
165- I don't see Marinelli losing at Carver, but wouldn't be surprised if Berge flips the results come March. 12-6 Iowa
174- Might be match of the dual. Really depends how healthy Kem is, but I think Starocci wins a close one. 12-9 Iowa
184- Brooks is just on another level than Abe, and I think Brooks will know that a major could be the difference in the dual. The greats find a way to get majors when their teams need it. 13-12 PSU
197- I think Dean is slightly overrated, and Warner finds ways to win close matches. Give me Warner by a 1 point decision. 15-13 Iowa
Hwt- Kerk is a different beast this year. Cass is a very good wrestler, but think Kerk wins this comfortably (3-4 points). 16-15 PSU

pretty close so far (not counting 125 as Ayala didn’t go). We’ll see how the second half goes

Tom had a shoe in his hands that he was bending while pointing at the PSU bench earlier in the dual. I honest to God have no idea what that was. Those dudes are freaking weird.

125 - Hildebrandt major could end up being huge, Ybarra gave up the 4 NF at the death
133 - RBY got hit twice for stalling but let’s be serious, Desanto was never close to scoring. It seems his strategy was dive in on a leg and have the crowd scream like mad for stalling
141 - Nick Lee is just the smarter wrestler at this point, he’s going to continue to have a edge in this matchup
149 - Murin is brutal to watch and Bartlett is in no way a 49, belongs at 33/41 but RBY/Lee exist. Boring match
157 - Young makes Murin look like an offensive dynamo, put on a top stalling clinic in the 3rd

Now 165 will likely be another snoozer and then we get into the real fun.

- Murin with a boring decision via 3rd period TD and ride out (as expected)
- Young with an uneventful win (as expected)

RBY was grabbing the feet of DeSanto I think he was complaining about that.

 

[cygrads]

Score?

 

[stuclone]

Score?

10-6 PSU

 

[cycloneman003]

Score?

10-6 PSU at intermission

What every single one of his wrestlers do in that same situation?

That would...make...sense. I guess?

Especially DeSanto of all people.

 

[Boxer007]

Sometime Iowa is more interested in trying to earn a stall point than actually take people down.

hey, I didn’t say it makes sense

It’s not just sometimes. It’s standard operating procedure in carver.

 

[Boxer007]

I was being polite

Is Penn St in some trouble?

 

[theshadow]

And the ref will never call offensive stalling (which it is) when they just push an opponent straight out of bounds w/o making an offensive move.

If iowa steals 174 they could be. I think Iowa wins 97.

It is funny to hear all the Iowa fans who cried about how all RBY did was defend and never attacked talk about how great Kems defense is.
