Iowa State v. Oklahoma/Oklahoma State Discussion/Results

[Schlottke]

Oklahoma State @ Iowa State

[ISU2008]

125: Clark dec Blanc 3-0 ISU
133: Fanthorpe dec Notte 6-0 ISU
141: Gallick dec Parks 9-0 ISU
149: Mueller dec Silver 12-0 ISU
157: Sanderson dec Erisman 15-0 ISU
165: Reader dec Mason 18-0 ISU
174: McSpadden dec Burk 18-3 ISU
184: Ward dec Hill 21-3 ISU
197: Varner maj Foster 25-3 ISU
285: Rosholt dec Zabriskie 25-6 ISU

At 165, it will be interesting to see who gets the choice. Reader was easily turning guys at the beginning of the season, not so much lately, and is not always able to get out, even from lesser riders than Mason. Mason took down against Morningstar in the second period and it cost him, wonder if he will do the same if it's his choice in the second here.

At 174, it is a winnable match for Burk, but he has been out for a month. We'll have a better idea after the Oklahoma meet tonight.

At 285, I know Z can win, but Rosholt has had his number lately. Easily the most interesting matchup of the dual.

I'll throw out my OU predictions as well:
125: Clark dec Fio 3-0 ISU
133: Fanthorpe dec Shelton 6-0 ISU
141: Gallick dec Vernon 9-0 ISU
149: Terry dec Mueller 9-3 ISU
157: Sanderson dec Vernon 12-3 ISU
165: Reader dec Smith 15-3 ISU
174: James dec Burk 15-6 ISU
184: Ward dec Flynn 18-6 ISU
197: Varner maj Lapotsky 22-6 ISU
285: Zabriskie dec Fernandez 25-6 ISU

At 125, Clark will be looking for revenge as Fio won twice last year, by a point each, I think. EDIT: Clark won 9-0 at the dual, then Fio beat him at Big 12's forcing Clark to need a wildcard.

At 174, same deal as with OSU. Burk can win but he's been out a month. If he looks good here, I'll take him vs McSpadden.

Is Burk healthy?

I think Reader beats Mason on the feet, then Hill might have a shot at Ward if he goes out and scraps like he did against Keddy.

You're definitely right on heavy being the most interesting match of the dual.

[ISU2008]

The word was Burk could have gone against Oregon State last weekend but he wasn't needed. As far as I know, he is going tonight and Sunday.

And I was thinking, but didn't post, that Reader definitely should put this match away in the first be getting some takedowns, but if not, the 2nd and 3rd period choices would be interesting.

Mueller has looked a little off lately-barely beating Walpole -losing to barnes -Didn't Flynn just upset someone recently ?

Match against OK State is up and going. Started at 165 and Reader stuck Mason.

HUGE difference between the two without Fanthorpe wrestling .
