Three teams ranked in this week's InterMat top 25 will be in action – No. 9 Illinois, No. 12 Wisconsin and No. 21 Virginia. Additionally, 16 wrestlers ranked in the top 20 in their respective weight classes are listed in the probable lineups for Saturday.
"As far as the teams, the Big Ten is the toughest conference," said North Carolina head coach C.D. Mock. "To be able to get them to spend the money to come down here and wrestle, it's not only great for Carolina, it's great for the ACC. It's super for the state of North Carolina. I think it will be packed with high school kids that don't ever get to see these other teams wrestle. These are the best teams in the country right now and to be able to see these guys wrestle is great for our state."
The Tar Heels, who are led by 13th-ranked heavyweight Justin Dobies, opened the season in fine fashion at last weekend's Wolfpack open, placing six wrestlers in the top three. Senior Vincent Ramirez brought home the 141-pound title.
