if both teams were at full strength, what happens that's different:

probably Surtin over Ventresca by decision at 125 in a 7 point swing.  157 with Andonian instead of Ulrey is at least 4 points instead of 3 for the Hokies, and I think we could have seen a pin.  

All that to say - I don't think either team was at more of a relative disadvantage going into it

I'm a Mizzou fan, but give credit where credit is due.  Virginia Tech has been a tough dual for the Tigers and have won the last 3 outings.  All have been nail biters.  Your only as tough as the company you keep and I'd rather take a close lost that prepares you for post season, than easy W's that measure nothing and are not as intriguing to follow.  Building a deep roster, developing talent, and staying healthy are all part of the equation of W's and L's.  I'm most proud of the fact that 5 of the 10 wrestlers in the lineup were products of Missouri high schools and chose the "Tiger Style" culture.  Brian Smith is as concerned about building "good men" as he is building "good wrestlers!"  If he continues to keep most the best "Show Me" wrestlers at home, we will be ok.

Andonian probably wins versus Jacques but I doubt him bonuses him.  Wouldn’t be shock to see Jacques win.  Most of Jacques matches are low scoring affairs.

I was bummed BA didn’t wrestle. I wanted to see him live against a stud like Jacques. I was glad to be able to see Keegan live. He’s very impressive
