Preceptor Posted March 20 Posted March 20 What are the most intriguing matches that are scheduled to happen on Thursday?
NM1965 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I think the match between Braedon Davis and Tristan Lujan (assuming he wins his pigtail match) might be the toughest #1 seed first round draw. 1
NM1965 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Looking at the bracket for 125, it's highly possible Braedon Davis will wrestle only B10 opponents! Lujan, Peterson, McKee, Ramos, and Ayala! That would be crazy, huh? It would only require a couple mild upsets (per seedings) for it to happen.
Truzzcat Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Nasir Bailey vs Nagao Davis vs Peterson/Ungar Shapiro vs Chittum Bernie vs Hawks Levi vs Mauller (don't really expect it to be in the balance just insane that the 1 seed has a 3x AA r2) decent chance Mauller doesn't even win r1 though he lost to Teague in the dual.
Preceptor Posted March 20 Author Posted March 20 Several Mizzou matches are interesting to me but I am a biased alumni. Surtain and Poulin is a rematch from the 2023 Big 12 finals. Moore and Bailey will be entertaining. Edmond vs Henson in part due to Henson's MU ties. Gioffre could put Watters in danger. Mauller vs Travis. Travis' father wrestled at Mizzou. Is Mocco healthy enough to return to form? Hawks vs Kane is a rematch from the first round of NCAA 2023. Hawks can go with anyone in the bracket.
Wrestleknownothing Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Every 125 match. I love these 17 v 18 matchups, but especially the rematches: The Teague v Mauller rematch at 157 The Brown v Bouzakis rematch at 133 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

He's never seemed to improve at Mizzou. Has he been hampered with injury issues, or did he basically peak his FR year at Mizzou? If so he must've had a helluva HS coach.
Warm Up Champ Posted March 20 Posted March 20 What about 141: #30 Clay Carlson v. #3 Real Woods? Carlson is 1-0 against him (11-4). First match off the scale. 1

Easily. And the easiest matchup is arguably Lewis at 174lbs, who has the toughest quarter (assuming Sta(l)rocci is to form). 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

I do know that he wrestled unattached last year as a RS at 157 and didn't do well. I had hoped he'd be back at 149 for this season, but he's big. He was able to horse guys at the lower weight...maybe not so much at 57. Sad...similar story to Jacques, imo. Ironic that they came from the same HS (as did Eierman).

Looking at common opponents since the 2023 Big 12 finals, it seems Surtin may have closed the gap. I hope so, but he's a wrestleback monster I feel like, so not super worried if he drops to consi's. I have Edmond/Henson circled on my watch list...that's going to be a fun one, and I think this year may be the year Henson gets on the podium. I really hope Mocco is able to push through. Would love to see another AA for him. I have Hawks AAing in my bracket (tried my very best to keep bias out of it and not give him swing matches). Edited March 20 by The_KC_Godfather
PortaJohn Posted March 20 Posted March 20 1st RD 125: Surtin/Poulin & Smith/DeAugustino 133: Chlebove/Serrano 149: Rathjen/Williams 157 Swensen/Zerban 174: Carter/Sparks (How healthy is he?) 184: Fishback/Malczewski & Heller/Rogotzke I Don't Agree With What I Posted

Stockton Posted March 20 Posted March 20 43 minutes ago, Interviewed_at_Weehawken said: Blood round, correct? I believe so. Also Woods was called for an illegal hold in the match, if I remember correctly it was from neutral and Woods had Carlson's arm behind his back and did like a kimura.

They're all counter and defensive wrestlers, although Eierman evolved some. Every match Jacques had against decent guys was like 1-2 or 2-3, or OT. He could keep everything close, but couldn't score off his own offense. I think people have figured this out vs Mauller too. Against weaker guys, he's a scoring machine, but against better wrestlers he reverts to his old ways. He'll be down in the 3rd and won't even take a decent shot until it's too late. And the bump to 157 didn't help. Not sure what the hell he was thinking after his RS year at that weight. 1

Jacques has finally made an enormous jump in his freestlye wrestling hes actually super dynamic on his feet im not sure what clicked.
