POLL: Predicting the Iowa-PSU 2019-20 Dual - PART II

[slushhead]

This is the second poll in a series about the outcome of the Iowa-PSU Dual.

Part I was posted in October. The HR had 107 (62%) votes for Iowa winning the dual, with by far the most common margin-of-victory prediction being 1-4 pts (66% of Iowa votes). Responses suggested Iowa was more likely to have team points deducted.

What we now know with more confidence:
• Iowa's intended 133 will be DeSanto and not Teasdale
• Iowa's intended 141 is most likely
Murin, and not DeSanto
• PSU's intended 184 is Brooks and not Rasheed
• PSU's intended 197 is most likely Rasheed and not Cassar Conel

New uncertainties:
• PSU's 285
• KMF's assertion that Spencer Lee will not compete in NCAA wrestling the remainder of the season, now that he is qualified for OTT.


As we head into Midlands, what are folks predicting for the dual outcome, now?

[Note: Two votes are allowed -- one is intended for team winner, the other for who is more likely to lose team points.]

Does Penn St feel like Rasheed with two arms is better suited at 197 than cassar with only 1 arm? lol typo and meaning conel at 197 and not cassar.

I have Iowa 20 Penn St. 13

I’ll take a stab at it.

125- I don’t see this making it out of the 1st period. Lee tech fall 5-0 Iowa
133- AD is 2-0 against RBY, don’t see that changing the way Austin is wrestling. DeSanto dec. RBY 8-0 Iowa
141- Murin is 0-2 against Lee and it seems like Lee has stepped it up a notch this year and widened the gap. N. Lee maj. Murin 8-3 Iowa
149- Lugo until proven otherwise. Verk is losing to guys Lugo just wouldn’t lose to. Lugo dec. Verk 11-3 Iowa
157- If Berge is healthy he can give Young all he can handle, but I’d take proven over unproven, especially at CHA. Young dec. Berge 14-3 Iowa
ICE CREAM BREAK- Chocolate/Raspberry swirl cone
165- Kind of like 133 & 141. You have a guy who is 2-0 against the other and until I see different, I’m sticking with the guy. I think AM is a bad matchup for Cenzo. Marinelli dec. Joseph 17-3 Iowa
174- Hall is the man at this weight until he isn’t. Hall will be tough to take down, but Kem will sure try. Hall dec. Kemerer 17-6 Iowa
184- Brooks is a takedown artist and if someone can put a good ride on him it may slow him down a bit and I really haven’t seen him have to dig deep in a match. Could get ugly or could get Carver’d. Brooks dec. Brands 17-9 Iowa
197- Until I see Rasheed at 197 again and healthy, I’ll take Warner. Hoping the Brucki win was a breakout match. Warner dec. Rasheed 20-9 Iowa
285- I expect Cassar to be back. If Nevills, I’ll take Tony. Cassar is a bad matchup for Tony because they have a similar style, but Cassar is more polished at this point. When healthy there’s a big gap between 2 and 3 at HWT. Cassar maj Cassioppi 20-13 Iowa

125: Tech by Lee 5-0
133: Desanto Could get a major here he seems to have gotten better but RBY keeps it to a 6pt dc 8-0
141: Lee silences Carver with a 8 pt controlled major 8-4
149: Lugo wins on ride outs in OT 11-4
157: Young wins a ugly decision 14-4
165: Bull is 2-0 and a Horrible matchup for Joseph Bull wins again 17-4
174: I want to say Kem with a little Carver Magic but I am afraid he takes his 1 and only loss here. 17-7
184: Brooks could get bonus pts here but I think Brands will find away to keep it to a regular dec similar to 133. 17-10
197: Warner wins by dec I feel better about him now and think he will be wrestling Saturday night come March. 20-10
Hwt: Big Cass wins against Nevils I truely believe Caesar’s carrier is done sad but I feel he is done. 23-10 Hawks!
