Sanderson avenged an earlier loss. Reader has a chance to wrestle beyond his seed. Burke won his first match. Ward is scoring points.

Good observations. Hopefully Sanderson and Reader can be the big surprises the rest of the way... while Ward and Burke pick up some more points.

So maybe more positives then negatives at this point?

Remember the Midlands where EIU came back in the consol's etc. to nip us in the end. Even if we have several in the wrestlebacks doesn't mean we can't be in a good position on Friday and Saturday if we continue to win the consolation matches.

If Metcalf pins his way through the championship I think he breaks the record for pins in a year at Iowa! That is impressive and he may have a shot at it the way he has been going.

He shouldn't pin Terry and more than likely he won't pin Palmer.

No doubt that he will win but i think they will be by points.

It doesnt look like we will get many easy matches the rest of the way out. We really need some extra points. That got the squawks the midlands, now, lets have it get the NC for the good guys.

Z, Varner, and Reader really need to take care of business. A win from Gallick or Cyler would be great. HUGE match for Fan. He has to win for ISU to have any chance.

Edit: ISU and Iowa tied at 33. Team scoring is a mess with these byes.
