Eagle26 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A lot of people are saying this. I think it comes from the Woods' matches with the largest viewership this year: a somewhat controversial stinker over Echemendia and then the blowout loss vs. Michigan. In between, he has looked very good at times including a dominant win over Hardy (his toughest regular season match last year) and Lachlan McNeil.That’s fair… I admit I haven’t seen too many of his matches and was just going by the eye test. He may have improved more than it appears. Either way, I still think it’s fair to call this one a toss up. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Woods wins this one in Carver, but I would be shocked if Woods beats Beau 3 times in row this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le duke Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Iowa scores more points off of stalling calls (after doing nothing) than they score takedowns. I’m predicting 5 points for stalling and 5 TDs for Iowa.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 14 hours ago, Eagle26 said: I would say Iowa is only a slight favorite at one weight - 125 One true toss-up at 141 PSU slight favorites at 149 and 157 PSU moderate favorites at 133 and 165 PSU heavy favorites 174-285 So it really wouldn’t be that crazy for us to see Iowa get blanked, but I do think they will win 125 and find a way to win one between 141-157. So I’ll say 33-6 PSU I took a stab at translating this into specific weights, but if you do not want to rely on my interpretive skills...

Any insiders have any info? Evans still makes that a match, fwiw. Also, fwiw that might bite him in the ass. Hardy handled him last time they wrestled and it appeared to be a style matchup issue. Hardy is looking at the 4 seed right now. 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle26 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I took a stab at translating this into specific weights, but if you do not want to rely on my interpretive skills...Honestly, I think you nailed it with your OP. I was trying to add something a little different and I must admit I was having a hard time deciding where Iowa would pick up another win (I do think they take one between 141-157), so I was trying to give myself some wiggle room But here goes…125 - Dec Iowa 0-3133 - Dec PSU 3-3141 - Dec Iowa (this time…Beau wins at least one at B1G or NCAA) 3-6149 - Dec PSU 6-6157 - Dec PSU 9-6165 - Dec PSU 12-6174 - MD PSU 16-6184 - MD PSU 20-6197 - TF PSU 25-6285 - Fall PSU 31-6Not sure where I got 33-6 in my first prediction lol, but I’ll with 31-6 as my final 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSULou64 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Where would anyone get information regarding someone not wrestling in the meet? I suggested it could happen (not Bartlett but just certain guys not going) but that just seemed like a possibility due to how often it seems to happen for one reason or another. I have to doubt that anyone affiliated with the PSU program or Iowa program that has intimate knowledge of the situation would divulge that. Certainly the wrestlers know better and the coaches definitely wouldn't reveal that. Edited February 7 by PSULou64 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely do they get things wrong because most of it comes from reputable sites. In this case it could be here say. Lets hope it was and Friday night produces all the matches we expect!

Any insiders have any info? I don't see it. Regardless, you have to win the B1G tourney to get the #1 seed at NCAAs. PSU doesn't strike me as a team that cares that much about winning the B1Gs or their seed. It is all about NCAAs so unless they think facing Woods twice is better than three times (highly unlikely), ducking doesn't provide a benefit.
