How important is this dual for our team?
I think it is extermely important for 2 reasons.
1. Seeding at Nat'l duals - get 2nd or 3rd seed opposite Iowa
2. In state victory and keep doubters away.
I will be there rooting on the Clones. Hope the team is healthy and ready to wrestle!
When is the dual? I dont remember the remaining schedule.
Can we beat UNI?
It's big if for no other reason than the fact that there are some winnable matches there for our younger guys and they need the confidence. As you also stated, a win should give us the 2 or 3 seed at duals and that gives us a good chance of getting 3 matches for everybody there. You can't win big matches if you don't wrestle them.
I'll be there as well Friday. Looking forward to the shorter drive. I assume it starts at 7:00, correct?
I may have to head up there too!
I will be there as well. Should be a good meet. I haven't looked too closely at the individual matchups yet but I think we win it.
Yes it's 7 on Friday. Not sure where they wrestle duals.
125 - Aarhus (Ryak pinned him at Nichols Open, need to see offensive and bonus)
133 - Colon (probably giving up 5-6 here)
141 - Wolfensberger (Wolf wrestling up, Goettl must win this)
149 - Noble (I don't know whose favored here)
157 - Bonin (Moreno might be able to win this one)
165 - Banach (need 5-6 points from Andrew)
174 - Prestidge - (he like 4-16, need 5-6 points from England or Spangler)
184 - Loder (We need Beard and has to be at top of his game to be competitive)
197 - Kettman (would probably be a bonus win for Shafer, not sure on Christenson and Voelker)
Hwt - Beale (Gibson should win, but needs to be ready)
Usually they're at the West Gym, unless they're expecting a big enough crowd to justify the McLeod Center, which I doubt is the case here.Quote:

UNI records are
125 - Aarhus - 18-10
133 - Colon - 17-2
141 - Wolfensberger 7-3
149 - Noble - 13-8 (wrestles 141/149)
157 - Bonin - 22-6
165 - Banach - 18-12
174 - Prestidge 4-18 (wrestles 174/184/197)
184 - Loder - 24-2
197 - Kettman - 13-11
Hwt - Beale - 21-8
Never been to a dual up there. Where is west gym?
I know Schwab is going to have UNI fired up for this one.
Ranking the hardest matches are
133 - Colon (looking good and a weak weight for us)
184 - Loder (looks like an AA candidate)
157 - Bonin (beatable)
Hwt -Beale (beatable)
The 2 question marks for us seem to be 149, this is a chance for Joe to perform
and 197 - I don't know what to expect if Shafer is not there. Think its a sure win with Shafer, not sure on Christensen and Voelker.

174- ISU strong favorite
184- UNI favorite (shot at redemption for Boaz)
197- Push?
Hwt- ISU favorite
I think ISU has more potential for bonus points and that could be the difference. Cozart needs to show up and Moreno needs to build on what he's been doing. UNI's chances will hinge on winning both of those. UNI will feel they have a legit chance to win this thing and they will be hungry to knock off an in-state school. I hope to God we beat them (badly would be nice) as I don't want to give Schwab any more traction than he's already gained.
If Moreno can wrestle like how he wrestled Dake, he can win this match.Quote:
