I predicted Redding to win, but thought it was an upset prediction and it would be by one or two points. This is a surprise. Redding was at 141 last year and Lamont was at 125. You can see some size difference between them still.

might as well. Terukina with a surprise victory. Barnett looked flat and didn't get to spend much time in his preferred position of top.

The interface does remind me a bit of Windows 95. Maybe it's for nostalgia

Sean Carter beats Kai Orine (26-12 NC State wins) at the exact same time that Juan Mora beats Davison from Nebraska. North Dakota State wins.

17-16 NDSU over Nebraska heading into the last match. Winner at heavyweight takes all

Caleb Smith with a takedown on Jarrett Trombley with 33 seconds left. 3-1. Lets him escape before locking the riding time. Trombley gets a leg but can't finish it. Clock expires. Very close match.

Parker from NDSU dominating Booby Tassel from Nebraska

Caliendo pins Condimitti with a cradle after Condomitti got the first takedown

Hidlay is excellent on the mic. Good insights and lots of class.

Robb vs Franek will be a doozy

split screen between Nebraska vs ND State and NC State vs App State. Hayden Hidlay on the mic in Raleigh

That's interesting - I didn't realize that

bolded ones I especially agree. I really hope Mesenbrink starts. He wrestled 165 in the wrestle-off which was a bit confusing unless that was just for show.

I was between Gomez fall and Gomez decision against Johnson, who seems very talented but susceptible to gassing

On the one hand you're probably right overall that my picks were a bit biased toward Iowa State based on consensus. Not intentionally so, but looking at them after the fact, it does seem to be. On the other hand, Hamiti over Carr and Zargo over Swiderski are probably not as common for most folks (I know you were the first to voice the former, but I think we are in the minority)

is he injured? or trying to undergo a weight transformation of some kind? having a hard time thinking of another reason. oh - avoiding Yianni (lol)

125: Eric Barnett dec Kysen Terukina 3-0 133: Zach Redding dec Taylor Lamont 3-3 (upset alert!) 141: Joey Zargo dec Casey Swiderski 6-3 (another upset sort of) 149: Austin Gomez dec Paniro Johnson 9-3 157: Garret Model dec Jason Kraisser 12-3 165: Dean Hamiti dec David Carr 15-3 174: Julien Brodersen major dec Graham Calhoun / Josh Otto 15-7 184: Marcus Coleman major dec Tyler Dow 15-11 197: Yonger Bastida dec Braxton Amos 15-14 285: Trent Hillger dec Sam Schuyler 18-17 Wisconsin by a hair

Yes this has been my experience with BTN+ as well. It is worth noting that BTN+ does not give you access to things from BTN (if you do not already have that)

This is my cynical guess also.

Good that Wisconsin supports him. Unfortunately I have less faith in the NCAA to be reasonable. Hopefully I'm wrong

Oh I remember what he said. It was "maybe I'm too big"

that is awful. really sorry to hear it

Seems like he's in quite the pickle. Also heard Will Betancourt is in the same situation (although he is not in the conversation to be a starter, so on a lesser scale). I hope Wisconsin coaches do the right thing and let him compete this year for Nebraska.
