The official nvpbrown preview...
I generally agree with your prediction. I haven't seen Michigan like Jersey has so I feel pretty ignorant. Seems like MIchigan has a few guys banged up (like no Mahommes at 174), which definitely helps us. We seem to be good except maybe Nick, and it sounds like Nick is good to go even banged up.
- 125 Expect Dance to take Youstey seriously. Major might happen but I'll pick the 3. VT 3-0.
- 133 is one of the most interesting matches to me. Gus could really use it and has looked good the last few matches. But he looked not at all good against Forys and DiCamillo. Per Dresser, it sounded like weight management was a problem. I think he's got a good shot, but I guess I'd probably favor the Michigan guy, no major. 3-3.
- 141 Can't pick against Chiskho. Neither Michigan guy looks that impressive. Hall has gone the last two and got majored against Purdue. Let's go for the same here. VT 7-3.
- 149 Pulling for Sal, but Pantaleo has a nice looking record. Sal had a good match against Donohue and got ridden hard by Finesilver. (Those Duke guys were pretty good on top.) If Sal's motor is high, maybe he's got a shot, but I'm not going to pick the upset. VT 7-6.
- 157 haven't seen if Murphy or Amine is likely to go, but Murphy did miss their last match. But I'd definitely worry about Nick being 100%, especially after the match in Durham. I think he rolls Amine even not at 100% and probably beats Murphy. I'm going to say Anime goes and Nick is healthy enough to repeat the major Amine suffered vs. Purdue. VT 11-6.
- 165 is another match I'm really interested since McFadden had a tough loss to Wiercioch and had a really bad weekend against Roshkopf and Faust. Has he hit a wall? I'm somewhat encouraged by his 3rd period against Faust -- he was getting stomped but came back to make it respectable. I'm picking him to win, but am a little nervous. VT 14-6.
- 174 I'm picking Epperly to stick Calderon. VT 20-6.
- 184 Really looking forward to this match, though Jersey says Abounader has gotten even tougher on top since Vegas. ZZ has improved also IMO. Going to pick against our man, but really think Zavatsky can pull it out. VT 20-9.
- 197 Will be interesting to see if Jared gets some offense going -- he had nothing against Mr. T-Shirt (Hartmann). VT 20-12.
- 285 Coon's talented, so this match makes me a little bit nervous. But Walz handled him easily at the NWCA All-Star (9-3) so I have a hard time picking against our man. VT 23-12.
I'm not going to make a prediction on the most important thing tomorrow -- Will we be rocking the ORANGE singlets? [Post edited by nvpbrown at 02/20/2016 11:58PM]
