Who do you *want* to win?


Not134

Not who do you think will win, but rather, who would you be pleased to see get an NCAA title for whatever reason.  Mine:

125: Glory

133: Fix

141: Mathews

149: Diakomihalis

157: Haines

165: Hamiti

174: Labriola

184: Keckeisen

197: Allred

HWT: Hendrickson

Yours truly being a B&W fan... naturally , I would like to see Josh Humphreys & Michael Beard get onto the top of the podium on Saturday night

Beard taking out Dean in the finals (I highly doubt either of them make it there) would be poetic justice for Beard.

I'm a dyed in the wool PSU fan, and even I would be thrilled to see Michael win over Max in the finals.

Why would anyone want a PED user like Fix to win?  It's bad for the sport.

Not calling stalling is bad for the sport - Fix is a 3-time finalist and deserves to get one.  Now answer the question.

125 Lee (I like the kid - even if he is a Hawkeye - AND I like 4 x’ers)

133 Vito - (Cornell fan)

141. Woods (I like him too - mostly a Stanford guy in my book though)

149 (YIANNI (4x’er AND a Cornell guy)

157. Chase Salate ( It’s the year of the Spartan) 

165. Griffith ( it would be a great comeback story)

174  Lewis (to prove his other title was not a fluke)

184  Brooks - (the next 4x’er)

197  Caffey -(Year of the Spartan - I have always liked him)

285  Parris (anyone who can take a heavyweight down with a fireman’s carry is ok in my book)

125 Lee
133 Teske
141 Woods
149 Murin
157 Haines
165 Kennedy
174 Brands
184 Assad
197 Warner

I would not be terribly upset to see Medley, Vito, Alirez, Yahya, Gfeller, O'Toole or Griffith, Lewis, Munoz, Beard, and Parris win it all though.

I'm a PSU honk, so obviously Nittany Lions but;

I picked Spencer Lee as a freshman when he beat Nato coming out of redshirt.  I want to see him close out the 4 pack.

 

I would like to see Austin Gomez finish his college career with a title. His swing for the fences style has always been fun to watch.

 

Even though I am routing for Levi Haines, a Bryce Andonian win would be fun for me. Austin Gomez type reasons there.

 

I'll route for Yonger Bastida in the 197 bracket because he entertains me. Fun to watch.  

 

Penn State is awful good this year, but they are missing a guy that I truly love to wat like Taylor, Ruth, Nolf, or Nikal.

all cornell guys obvs. but if i have to pick non-cornell guys who have a real shot i'd say mekhi, alirez and a repeat for o'connor because i think some consider him a fluke winner. i don't think anyone thinks of mekhi as a fluke, just someone who has had a rough injury history.

idc about a title for these guys necessarily, but get phillippi and hendrickson on the podium. also have really enjoyed watching malyke hines as a rival.

Lewis is a junior world champ and NCAA champ. I’d say he’s as legit as a college wrestler can be.

 I think these guys match up very well with their respective and potential '2' seed opponents in their quarters.

I agree with you. Both have tough/tricky 2nd round matchups in Gfeller and Cardenas respectively.
