Big match for David Bertolino. If he continues to wrestle quality opponents as close as he has this season, he will beat one. I like Bert's chance against Brester. I just can't pick Cyler after he let me down last week. He looked bad losing to Chandler from Mizzou. If Bert doesn't beat Brester, Clark will beat a struggling Donahoe. Donahoe lost to Oklahoma's previously unranked Joey Fio. 133 and 141 are must wins for ISU. I would like to see Varner break out against a quality opponent. Vince Jones is a guy who wins big or loses big. Hopefully Varner can get some bonus points to counteract Nebraska's at 149 and 174. Bonus at those two weights is not a guarantee, but is likely.

Brester will pwn Bertolino. He ate up Rovelli.

Sorry, I have Oliver on my fantasy team and he has been VERY unimpressive this year, I would be surprised if he beat Cyler but I could use the points...the Reader/Dwyer match should be tight.

Fanthorpe v Jordan...prediction: 1st period Jordan comes out like a lion...3rd period Jordan goes out like a lamb.

18-15 Iowa State final, they've got a good shot at the Huskers if they come ready to do business.

ISU, Sanderson may have looked bad against Chandler, but Oliver got TD tech'd last weekend. I think you can favor Cyler in this one.

If Cyler can take Dustin down, he can take Mr Taken Down down.

Wow, I didn't think Bert really had a chance but he's in it. Last home meet for the senior.
