BEFORE YOU READ THERE HAVE BEEN A BUNCH OF UPSETS SO IT HAS CAUSED THE BACKSIDE TO BE MAYHEM. THIS LIST IS GOING OFF MY OPINION NOT THE SEEDS…
ALSO BEFORE WE START REMEMBER THAT IF IT SAYS CONS RD 3 THAT MEANS BOTH GUYS MUST WIN FOR THAT MATCHUP
125:
CONS RD 2: Teske/Hildebrandt, Mastro/McKee, Barnett/Heinselman, Ayala/Camacho
-All of them are on the top side of the bracket
133:
I have none that I liked tbh…
141:
CONS RD 2: Red/Parker
CONS RD 3: Eierman/Micic
- Micic AA hopes end tomorrow if Jaydin pushes through his knee. I think Chad Red gets it done and become a (6th-8th) AA.
149:
CONS RD 2: Thomas/Bartlett, Gfeller/Abas
CONS RD 3: Van Brill/Finesilver
-Abas gave Gfeller the works earlier in the season, but I think Gfeller gets it done. Van Brill and Finesilver will be a showdown.
157:
CONS RD 2: Wright/O’Connor, Sheets/Carr
CONS RD 3: Berge/Robb, Carr/Young
-I think Carr shows class and comes back for 3rd in this one, this one really sucks for Kaleb Young and Iowa as a whole. Dont sleep on Wright from Wyoming hes very solid. And unfortunately Sheets hopes of pulling the upset again are probably over.
165:
CONS RD 2: Wilson/Hartman,
CONS RD 3: Valencia/Wentzel
- This weight lacked upsets which makes for a pretty fair backside. The best storyline of the backside is whether a returning finalist will not AA or Anthony Valencia.
174:
CONS RD 2: Mocco/Devos
CONS RD 3: Mantanona/Smith
- Mizzou kind of sh*t the bed, but its fine. So we got a Mocco Devos early backside that will be a big momentum swing for Mizzou. I think Mantanona will pull the upset on Smith of Ohio State tomorro if he can get there.
184:
CONS RD 2: Bolen/Kent, Loew/Wilson, Lyon/Cochran, Assad/Geer
CONS RD 3: Venz/(Kent or Bolen), Coleman/Assad
- This Bolen and Kent match will be crazy, if im not mistaken I believe they wrestled close earlier in the year. Assad and Geer will be fireworks, Iowa needs Assad to make an AA run on this backside since they are probably losing Young in cons rd 3
197:
CONS RD 2: None
CONS RD 3: Norfleet/Bastida, Brucki/Bonaccorsi, Caffey/(Aiello or Trumble)
- Norfleet needs the win here to give Arizona St a good shot at obtaining a team trophy. They have done a goof job of scoring a lot of points so far, I belive they came prepared and Norfleet will make this AA run.
HWT:
CONS RD 2: Nevils/Hendrickson, Hilger/Fernandes, Surber/Orndorff
CONS RD 3: Traub/Luffman, Stencel/Elam
-I did not expect Hendrickson to lose this early, but he is young and I expect him to make a good backside run. Elam is another Mizzou guy that needs to make some noise on the backside for Mizzou, him and Stencel will be a war.
