He's saying 2 of Lehigh's wins are bonus (for 3 points).


From past results, a Lehigh MD at 141 is pretty much a lock unless Norstrem can go. I've been mentally scoring our 141 matches as starting out as a default, where losing with less than a pin earns us 1, 2, or 3 points. In that mindset, Ryan earned us 2 points against Longo at the VA Duals and Lee at the cost of being ridden hard for most of the 7 minutes. In both cases, he fought hard to (mostly) stay off his back, so maybe he has a shot at a MD instead of a TF or Fall. But I would be shocked with anything other than Lehigh bonus.

165 will be tough with either Walter or Minotti (who wrestled on Friday, but not Sunday -- no idea if injury or coach's decision). Bergida got tech falled and majored this weekend. Campbell for Pitt (tech fall) really impressed me for a #12 guy. Bergida only got majored against UVA's Bethea because he went for a big move on a decent-looking shot in hopes of winning, and got taken down and turned. Otherwise, that's a narrow win for UVA. But either of these Lehigh guys will be a tough out, and I might agree on the MD.

I agree with hokietony's key swing matches, but I would add 157 as a fourth. I've never seen Kutler, but his results don't make him look like a hammer that would ride Sal super-hard (bottom seems to be where he's weakest). So I'm giving Sal a shot here, though he looks to be an underdog.

I hope Chishko can go (and is in good shape) at 149 this weekend. He's going to have a tough climb if he's like he was at the VA Duals. I think Epperly should be good (as predicted), but he's had a few slow starts to overcome. Can't afford that.

WrestleStat predicts 19-13. Shockingly, it predicts a Jared Haught victory.
