Nebraska vs Minnesota

If McKee makes weight he’ll go. Could see this being an even 5-5 split.

MN takes 125, 133, 149, 184, HWT
NEB takes 141, 157, 165, 174, 197

Honestly, there isn’t a single match I feel 100% on. McKee has been known to lay eggs in duals, Nagao is unproven and Dryden has a weird style. Hardy favored but Bergeland former AA could upset. Blockhus always keeps matches too close. Lee beat Robb last year 4-0 but looked horrible lately. Sparks/Bubba is a wildcard. O’Reilly/Labs has always come down to the last seconds. NEB 184/197 super talented but young.

125 if McKee goes W
133 if Burwick is out Minny W
141 Nu W
149 Minny W
157 Nu W
165 Nu W
174 Nu W 
184 Nu W
197 Nu W
Heavy Min W
 
Nu 6-4 

This is going to come off as a super hot take that I’m hoping bares fruit, but Isaiah Salazar (184) is Minnesota best wrestler currently and I could see him placing as high as 2nd in big tens. We’ll see how dual season shakes out.

125 - McKee dec Cronin (3-0)

133 - Nagao dec Dryden (6-0)

141 - Hardy dec Bergeland (6-3)

149 - Blockhus maj dec Morton (10-3)

157 - Robb dec Lee (10-6)

165 - Wilson dec Sparks (10-9)

174 - Labriola dec O'Reilly (12-10)

184 - Salazar dec Pinto (13-12)

197 - Allred dec Foy (15-13)

HWT - Joles dec Davidson (16-15)

Blockhus gets the major for Minnesota to win the dual. Toss-ups at 141, 149, 165, 184, 197, HWT. Should be a great, evenly matched dual.

Had Salazar not taken the weird loss to Jacob Nolan I think people would be talking about him a lot more. He looks very polished and huge for the weight.

In what universe?

You’re right, I shouldn’t say “always”. But it did last year at the dual, and then the next time they wrestled O’Reilly tore his ACL in the middle of what was a close match. They had a lot of fun exchanges last year.

The match in 2018 and 2020 were not close.

Fair enough, yes.  If you look at the score and not the tempo or pace of the match in which who is controlling where and how then sure.  It was close. 

Labs was never in danger of losing.

Lewis could win every match he wrestles the rest of the year 3-2 and the only matches that would actually be close would be Starocci, Foca, and Labs.

Lewis also typically wrestles matches that (might) have one takedown. This one had three, one that tied it, and I think O’Reilly was in deep on at least one more shot in the first. Mekhi wrestles an entirely different style.

Regardless, though, it won’t be close this year. O’Reilly doesn’t look like the same wrestler.
