Comparing Sundays dual on Wrestlestat using most recent lineups (ASU dual for ISU, southern scuffle for NDSU)

125 - #16 Poulin vs #13 Witt - wrestlestat has Witt winning 7-4. Another really tough test for Stevo, who has had a tough schedule thus far. Witt is a stud freshman, winnable match though.

133 - #123 Meza vs #46 Daugherty - wrestlestat has Meza losing 5-3. Definitely a winnable match if he goes. He had two hammers this past week. (They have it 10-3 in favor of Frost if he goes).

141 - #4 Echemendia vs #85 Olson - wrestlestat has Ech winning by 11-3 MD. Should be 4, if not 5 for ISU in a mismatch.

149 - #7 Frost vs #34 Peterson - wrestlestat says Frost 12-5. Not a gimme match as Peterson is tough, should push for bonus.

157 - #10 Zerban vs #36 Drexler - WS has it 10-3 Zerban. Drexler hasn’t quite found his footing after bumping up to 157, but the guy was an AA at 149 last year. Sneaky tough match.

165 - #26 Euton vs #56 Greenley - WS says 14-5 MD for Euton. Euton seems to smash the guys he should beat. Had a rough go of it at ASU, he’s a guy ISU will need in March so hope he gets it going when he gets the top 15-20 guys.

174 - #13 Gaitan vs #58 Magayna - WS says 14-5 MD for Gaitan. It does seem as though Magayna gets better each time out, but I love how MJ looked Sunday. There will be points in this match.

184 - #24 Dean vs #19 Brenot - WS has it 8-5 in favor of Brenot. Best match of the dual on paper (aside from 125). Brenot was a blood round guy last year.

197 - #79 Carter vs #50 Wasley - WS has it 8-4 in favor of Wasley. I liked what a saw out of Carter. Not showing anything real offensive but standing in there holding center and handfighting tough. He has a shot. (They have it 10-3 in favor of Elam)

285 - #1 Bastida vs #77 Blackburn-Forst - WS says 20-4 TF for Yonger. Not much to commentary on this one.

WS has it 23-12 ISU, I’ve got it 28-6 with these lineups.

A few fun match-ups (125, 184) to look forward to, and will be interesting to see if 133 and 197 starters make it back.

He had one very good match (bonus pts) on Friday before his bad match on Sunday.
yeah he had a bad last match so I'm wondering if we dont see Rigs. no clue just firing from the hip.

Keep in mind the guy he rolled from stanford is 4-6 a 14-14 career guy. I think ranked like #105 according to wrestlestat.

Man, this dual is only on the Bison all access? That sucks.

I agree. Rigs is wrestling well, I think he needs to be given a chance to earn the spot.

Do you have to pay for that bison tv thing or what is that?
 
So MJ gets Baby Max? Wonder if Pa has his green and gold Zumbaz broke out for this one? I guess with the boy going to NDSU, he still had his clothes from Columbus to match colors.
