Tech NC State this weekend

[Hammerlock3]

This is my favorite dual of the year, good individual rivalries, the teams really don't like each other, weird stuff tends to happen...but I'm not familiar enough with NC States lineup to do a top down prediction so someone else do it please!

If Virginia Tech has the option they will go for 133 last.  If NC State has the option we start at 133.

Sounds like Andonian is unlikely to go after suffering an injury last weekend

thanks, hard for me to think ulrey gets majored...Lewis isn't a great with his own points either but i don't know faison...141 184 197 looking big...based on your prediction I would only say a lot more wiggle room for tech.

Jack did beat Crook pretty decisively earlier in the year (maybe the scuffle?) But Crook being younger could be growing exponentially.  Unfortunately from my perspective it looks like his results have pleateaued a bit since his very strong start

thanks again didn't know that

Great dual.  Thanks for insights.  
 

Mekhi major?  Hmmm.  Not seeing it.  Doesn’t seem to push to score points against wrestlers that are even in ballpark if his level.

It was at the Cliff Keen in  Vegas.

I think you'll see Singletary instead of Cates at 165.  Not sure it changes the outcome of this match though.

At 197, I think there's a high potential for Trumble bonus points. 6 of his last 7 matches have resulted in bonus points for him (the exception being the National Duals match with Beard)

With the exception of Iowa and psu, VT has one of the higher attendance levels among all programs. And the ACC, particularly VT and the pack have held their own vs the B1G

Latona is such a beast

Andonian Scott buckle up.

Andonian Scott buckle up.

I really hope he’s healed up and ready to go. Andonian is a guy I always support.

Good. The Lewan match at the All-Star made me sad. He was visibly not right.

I was excited about the takedown at the end of the first haha.  This last match was something else

I see so much La Bamba dancing anymore,  I almost forgot what a rasslin' match looked like.

This ref uses the old half of 2 equals 1 call when a reversal is close when the wrestlers go out of bounds.  Haven't seen that in a while.
