11 PK vs. 15 Augustine.

5 BK vs. 10 Pitzer.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!!

Got some info tonight from someone who knows past and current players. A very reliable source in my opinion.
McCollum is a done deal to Iowa.
Good chance Fran might be headed to Penn, taking Connor as an Asst. if he takes job. Obviously, young brother heads along too.
Mulvey already has a school picked out, too.

Thread has asterisks, so it's official now. Christmas morning for us wrestling degenerates! Go Hawks!

3pm CT
OK -4.5
O/U 156.5

I picked Iowa to fall to the Sooners in my bracket, and I still think they get the home cooking refs today.

Go hawks!

Moving day. I'm hoping for four into the semis and hope Parco is able to manage on the backside. Go Hawks!

Quarters:
2 Ayala vs. 7 Bouzakis.

3 Caliendo vs. 6 Mantanona.

11 PK vs. 3 Hamiti.

2 Buchanan vs. 23 Shumate. SB teched him at the dual, majored him at B1Gs.

5 BK vs. 4 Trephan (lost to Hill at last year's tournament but having a better year, beat Schultz this year).

Consis:
5 Parco vs. 22 Drexler.

11 Gabe vs. 21 DuVall (guy who had Allred down big early before Allred stuck him).
