***OFFICIAL PREDICTIONS: Iowa vs Penn St***

Lee WBF in 1st period 6-0 IA
RBY Maj Dec 6-4 IA
Woods wins by 2 9-4 IA
Murin wins by 1 (going with experience here) 12-4 IA
Haines wins by 2 (talent over experience, hope I’m wrong) 12-7 IA
Kennedy wins by 1, 15-7 IA
Star wins by 7, 15-10 IA
Brooks wins by 5, 15-13 IA
Dean wins by 3, 15-16
Cass wins by 2, 18-16 IA

I realize I gave us nearly all the toss ups (149, 157, 165, HWT). But hey it’s the Iowa board, I get to be a little biased 😬
 
How many people has Bartlett pinned?
None of Woods’s caliber, but he catches people on occasion, and I think Woods has gotten away with sloppy hips on his tilts more than a couple of times this season. Add in tank issues and Bartlett’s explosive hips, I see a scenario I want to play out.

So has Bartlett earned the #3 ranking? Or have all the other guys behind him taking L’s. Didn’t Murin handle Bartlett easily last year? Woods is higher quality then Murin.

ITs okay Basch gave PSU every win except 125 on his podcast😂
 
125: Lee pins psu in under two minutes
133: Rby wins a decision - something like 7-3
141: Wood is the class of 141 and imo BB is overrated. Woods wins 9-2
149: let’s see how good the freshman is. I expect a low scoring contest. 3-2 Murin
157: think they pull Haines RS tonight. It will be a close decision. But I’ll go Haines 6-4
165: matchup of the night. I like Pk and tonight he proves why he’s beaten Facundo in the past. I expect a few how the hell did he escape that from AF but in the end PK is the better wrestler. 5-3 pk
174: Solid favorite C star. 8-1 or 8-2
184: Brooks with a comfortable 10-3 decision.
197: Dean is gettable but Warner just seems off the past few months. I’d love to pick Warner but I think it’s 3-2 Dean.
HWT: the narrative that one win by Kirk means that he’s turned the corner on Cass needs to be proven. I say not gonna happen tonight. Cass 4-2.

18-15 Hawks on the back of pin Dr Spence’s 1st period fall. Several toss up matches. Lots of prove it matches for the psu young bucks in maybe the biggest dual they’ve ever been in. I assume lots of low scoring matches and a few heated moments. Should be damn fun.

That guy ruins his credibility with his massive bias. Not that he had alot to begin with. Just doesn't seem like a good way to build a podcast around wrestling when you're openly one sided. At least Willie makes a small attempt to hide it lol.
