I see both matches around 20-12. WI beat UM, but loses to RU

My thoughts are below against Maryland:

What are your expectations for next weekend?

If Maryland wrestles the same line up as Purdue meet:
Beck (f) 3-4 - MD WI 5-0
Goodwin (so) 6-2 - D WI 8-0
Rappo (j) 15-7 - D MD 8-3
Hodges (f) 4-5 - D WI 11-3
19 Mascola (sr) 12-3 - D MD 11-6
Burnham (f) 6-6 - Fall WI 17-6
Evanovick (j) 7-9 - MD WI 20-6
Smith (f) 8-8 - D WI 23-6
Weineski (f) 6-8 - D WI 26-6
Peck (so) 13-6 - D MD 26-9

I'm going 26-9 Badgers. I have no idea about Rutgers. They have been a really good dual team this year.

If #8 Rutgers same as against MSU
McCabe (j) 10-7
18 Giralda (f) 12-7
4 Ashnault (so) 18-1
Dippery (so) 11-7
15 Lewis (j) 15-3
6 Perrottri (sr) 13-2
20 Bakuckas (j) 11-7
Pafumi (j) 7-5 or Gavina (so) 12-6
Hymack (sr) 11-7
16 Smith (sr) 16-5

Rutgers beats Wisconsin (Pritzlaff beats Barry this year)

wrastle63 · January 20, 2016, 07:24:51 PM

Don't see how they beat us honestly I think we are better. Unless Jordan/Taylor etc get upset.

125 Rutgers 3-0
133 WI 4-3
141 Rutgers 7-4 GG is good at slowing down matches only a MD
149 tie 7-7
157 Rutgers 11-7 (if Lewis wrestles)
165 Rutgers 11-10
174 Rutgers 14-10
184 Rutgers 14-13
197 Rutgers 17-13
285 Rutgers 20-13
If RR gets out of his funk I have it 17-16 Rutgers. Might help if 174 is the last match.
