The biggest night in College Wrestling is here and the D1 Championship Finals start in 15 minutes!! We have two Gophers in there and they will be fighting hard to win an individual Natty! And, because it's the finals of a major tournament, both Ethan and Brett get the rare chance/honor to wear the gold singlet!!!
Can they do it??
Here are the finals participants and how I think it will go (likely winners in bold):
2017 NCAA Finals Lineup:
197: J'den Cox, Missouri vs Brett Pfarr, Minnesota
Cox wins a close one, but if BP gets a good start and wrestles the match of his life, he wins! His chances are (35/65).
285: Kyle Snyder, Ohio State vs Connor Medbery, Wisconsin
Medbery is good, but Snyder wins easily (100%)
125: Darian Cruz, Lehigh vs Ethan Lizak, Minnesota
If Ethan can get a takedown in the 1st period he will win. If not I think he'll still win, but it will be trickier. (65/35)
133: Cory Clark, Iowa vs Seth Gross, South Dakota State
A tough match to call...it's exactly (50/50) Clark wins on experience
141: Dean Heil, Oklahoma State vs George DiCamillo, Virginia
Camilo not ready for this big stage (80/20)
149: Zain Retherford, Penn State vs Lavion Mayes, Missouri
Almost a complete lock (95/5)
157: Jason Nolf, Penn State vs Joey Lavallee, Missouri
A complete lock (100%)
165: Isaiah Martinez, Illinois vs Vincenzo Joseph, Penn State
Imar has not looked so good this week, but he'll win fairly easily (85/15)
174: Mark Hall, Penn State vs Bo Jordan, Ohio State
A tough match to call, but I think Hall has looked so very good this week, that he will find a way to win...almost no matter what (70/30)
184: Gabe Dean, Cornell vs Bo Nickal, Penn State
By all rights, Gabe Dean should win this, but I'm picking Bo Nickal. He's just plain ready!! (40/60 Nickal!!)
What do all of you think?????
Come on let's hear it!!!
Break out the popcorn, chips, beer and whatever else...the BIG SHOW is ready to start!!!
So tune in!!!
Go Gopher Wrestling!!!
