Purdue upsets Cal Poly

[Thumper]

I use the term upset because the WrestleStat dual comparison feature projected that Cal Poly & their projected starters would win the dual last night vs.Purdue by a score of 18-14.   However the actual dual resulted in a 19-13 win for Purdue despite the fact that Purdue lost a team point for throwing headgear.

Cal Poly did not start # 142 ranked (according to WS) Ty Chandler at 133 lbs (RS JR) but instead went with # 237 ranked (WS) Anthony Lucio (RS FR) but Lucio did fairly well against # 18/19 ranked Blake Boarman of Purdue - losing by Dec. (8-2).  So it seems  Lucio was the right choice for last night's dual.

At 149 lbs Purdue's # 74 ranked (WS) Gavin Brown upset #47 ranked (WS) Andre Gonzalez of Cal Poly in Sudden Victory OT 1 (4-1).

At 157 lbs Cal Poly's # 32 ranked (WS) Luka Wick did not wrestle and Purdue's # 83 ranked Stoney Buell beat # 143 ranked Jagger French with a 2-0 victory.

No. 28 Cal Poly (13) vs. No. 24 Purdue (19)

133: No. 18 Blake Boarman (PUR) dec. Anthony Lucio (CP), 8-2

I love what wrestlestat does, but their dual predictor is 100% out of whack at this point in the season. I'm an OSU fan, and I saw that wrestlestat had OSU as only the #7 dual team in the country. I looked at their predicted match results and OSU's incoming FR (the guys with no college matches on record) were all predicted to give up 6 team points in all the dual predictions!! So that kid Lockett was predicted to lose all his matches by fall!! Like I said I love wrestestat, but that's something that could be tightened up a bit.

Well put sir.   I concur.   Could not agree with you more on that.
