should we bet whether Stoll wrestles?

Highly doubtful unless iowa actually needs the win.

Any chance Iowa sits Marinelli to protect his seed at the Big Tens?

I see RC listed again this week. Let's hope he goes

On the bottom it says *lineup subject to change. I doubt Marinelli ducks Wick, but I could for sure see Stoll ducking Hillger and being *sick*

With them honoring Eli before the match and presumably the Stickley family there, I highly doubt Marinelli sits

Well, with a "hot" day, the Badgers could make a match of this meet; I wouldn't bet on it, but a couple of good (feasible) wins and it becomes a split in terms of the number of wins for each team. Just a matter of keeping bonus points under control. Just sayin'

I think that really muscled up guys like  Alex Marinelli have a much bigger advantage in
a dual meet setting compared to a long tournament.  Marinelli will be powerful and fresh for
a one match dual meet.  I see no reason to rest him.  I do think Iowa will stick a JV guy out there
in one of the weight groups though, but not 165 lbs.

Well Max Murin got pinned by kid from Indiana.

I had never thought of this, but it makes a lot of sense. The hulked out sort of dudes might struggle more from muscle fatigue in the tournament setting, where as the more sinewy guys, the ones that do it with motion more than brut strength, they might actually be better suited for multiple matches in a day.

Interesting point, billy.

I'm not sure what it means in relation to the dual on Sunday, but that doesn't make it less interesting.

This has no basis in reality.  Please explain the physiological mechanism behind this "thought."

Christensen is wrestling at the Last Chance Open @ ISU today.

Good idea, get more than one match in today.

If you go by what Iowa did against Indiana two days ago,
Iowa will wrestle STOLL at heavyweight and throw a JV guy out at 157.
