Northwestern

I know Midlands was kinda of disappointing, but hopefully we bounce back strong. Should be an interesting dual.
125: #12 Sebastian Rivera (NU) Tech. Fall Sergio Mendez (CSUB), 19-4 (7:00) | NU 5, CSUB 0
133: Colin Valdiviez (NU) dec. Sean Nickell (CSUB), 7-2 | NU 8, CSUB 0
141: Russell Rohlfing (CSUB) dec. Alec McKenna (NU), 3-0 | NU 8, CSUB 3
149: #9 Ryan Deakin (NU) maj. dec. Kalani Tonge (CSUB), 12-3 | NU 12, CSUB 3
157: #18 Coleman Hammond (CSUB) maj. dec. Shayne Oster (NU), 13-0 | NU 12, CSUB 7
165: Michael Sepke (NU) dec. Jacob Thalin (CSUB), 8-3 | NU 15, CSUB 7
174: Johnny Sebastian (NU) maj. dec. Bryan Battisto (CSUB), 11-0 | NU 19, CSUB 7
184: Mitch Sliga (NU) maj. dec. Dom Ducharme (CSUB), 16-4 | NU 23, CSUB 7
197: #14 Matt Williams (CSUB) Fall Zack Chakonis (NU), 5:20 | NU 23, CSUB 13
285: #19 Conan Jennings (NU) maj. dec. Mark Penyacsek (CSUB), 13-0 | NU 27, CSUB 13

I see us winning at 141, 157, 165, 184, and 197. There will be tossup matches at 133 and 149. Guessing we will lose at 125, 174, and 285. Which would make this a pretty close dual. Konrath lost to Valdiviez by 1 at Midlands will be interesting to see how Lantz does against him that match might determine who wins the dual.

They say W 17-16
It wouldn't change if you put in JJ for Rotondo in their system

Anyone know what the deal is with Zander?

Anyone know what the deal is with Zander?

Must be dinged up. Nice to have someone like Cole Martin as depth to fill in even though it is up a weight class.
Deakin is ranked higher so it's not like they are saving a seed.

19-18 Badgers.  Big win for Barry.

[bkraus]

Does anyone know where they are wrestling this?  Welsh Ryan is still under construction.

[GoodGod]

Never considered it to be seed saving, have heard rumors of a couple different injuries and possible weight issues. Just wondering if anyone else had any info.

From Tuesdays with Barry:

The dual is at Northwestern at 7pm on Friday night in the Patten Gym (different location this year due to construction on their normal gym space.

I think it is 20-19 Wisconsin minus 174 and the winner there wins the team battle. I think RC can get this win and the Badgers win 23-19

Better switch some things up because he got destroyed by Sebastian at Midlands.

I think each team wins five matches and it comes down to bonus points.
