Nice breakdown, were you thinking about that all night?

On Wisconsin   

[jaguarwrestler]

What happened to Morrisey? Did he get hurt? I see he beat Martin a couple weeks before the B1G

Has Sueflohn ever AA before?

[stbird]

No, Sueflohn has never been an AA.  It's kind of crazy as he's been good every year, but never could quite make it at nationals.

Has Sueflohn ever AA before?

He has not. Three time qualifier but has yet to break through to become an AA. Third is a pretty bold prediction for the 7 seed in a tough bracket. Would likely have to beat Tsirtsis, Cimato or Pantaleo, and Mayes or Sorensen consecutively to get that done. Would love to see him do that but it will be tough. Would be great to see him take out Sorensen in the quarters but that is a tall order.

I have him needing to beat Tsirtsis, Pantaleo and Mayes consecutively to get third.  Yikes!

No doubt I'm being optimistic but certainly think he is capable.  Hoping he puts together that senior run like Pell did.  Mayes hasn't been wrestling the best.  Tsirtsis is hurt or just overall having a rough year.  Pantaleo will be tough.  Did they wrestle at all this year?

3rd in that bracket? Maybe with the tournament of his life, more like a 6-7 guy.

Pantaleo is definitely wrestling the best of those three and I do think he can beat them all.  Beating them all consecutively though is a tall order.

But can be done!

I'd love to see 3; but you are right, my friend. Looking a little lower. I don't see him taking out Sorensen; but anything can happen.

UW - 20

IJ - 18
RT - 2
JJ - 0
RR - 0
RC - 0

Natives -25

AD - 21
JS - 4

The natives are restless, going to come down to tonight.  If the natives and UW points are combined they would be 8th.  Yes, I know IJ and AD are the same weight.  But AD could go 174.

[Ghetto]

Disappointed for Sueflohn. Never made the podium. Watched his last match, where he attacked the whole time and could not score. Kinda got away from his ties late.

[billymurphy]

I count 8 Big Ten teams ahead of the Badgers.  Pritzlaff wins this round.
Once again, Dieringer outscores the entire Badgers team.
Getting Medbery back next year should provide much better results.
