ACC Wrestling Brackets

Cleary qualifies! Slinger eliminated himself, losing six of his last seven matches after a strong start to the year. Curry, I'm thinking 65% chance he's in?
Man would I like to see poulin in the blue and gold battling Camacho and Latona at 125
Let’s bring some offense boys, except for bonacorrsi, I think he’s better off with less shots, make Trumble shoot and do some snap and go behinds, let see if his strategy changes this time.
My bad, I was thinking of Bullard. Nino will have his work cut out for him.
Great match by Nino! Tip of the hat to coach Gavin as I’m sure they game planned this match to fix the issues!
Nino! He finally got some counter movements going with his finishes and he got them done. Puzzle cracked!!!
Too bad either Latona or Camacho will not be in the ACC finals next year as Poulin in Pitt gear will be taking one of their spots!
This is rampant in HS, especially with the tall lanky light weights. Personally, its the definition of stalling, just trying to avoid action. In freestyle it can be a penalty point after being warned. Needs to become a stall call in Folk
The difference is that Cole get his offense whether it's someone shooting on him or him wrenching a guy into the front headlock series. Pick your poison. Its a no win for the opponent.
For Mick, he gives up the first takedown far too often and struggles to create under duress. His offense isn't necessarily a threat to him opponents. They aren't afraid of it.
And that's really the issue. Matthews has skills that his opponents are afraid of. Phillippi does not. For as good as Phillippi can be on top, good guys can get out on him.
That’s one thing I was wondering what happened, obviously guys at that level make adjustments but just 2 years ago Mickey rode out pletcher,fix, lizak, myers, Austin Gomez. These are the top notch and now he can’t ride anyone at that level which once he got 1 takedown it was basically over. Just asking what it could be?
I wonder if it's mental at this point. There's so much talk of him not having enough offense, so I wonder if that has got in his head? He definitely doesn't seem to have improved the past few years, and maybe even has regressed a bit. Need a team psychologist.
Sometimes the drive to win drives so hard that it is a deterrent.
It seems the only spot we'll be sweating is 125, I pulled this off Flo:
#18 Kysen Terukina, Iowa State
#23 Jaret Lane, Lehigh
#24 Gage Curry, Pittsburgh
HM Joe Manchio, Columbia
HM Tristan Lujan, Michigan State
HM Antonio Lorenzo, Cal Poly
HM Caleb Smith App State
Curry has wins this year over two national qualifiers (Noto, McCormick). From the list above he has beaten Manchio, lost to Lorenzo in SV, and lost close matches to both of Lane's (quite good) backups. I think the Noto win (he is 32-1) outweighs his questionable losses and puts him in the field.
Then again, I'm coming at this from an EXTREMELY college basketball perspective. That may not be how the selection committee evaluates wrestlers, I don't really know.
125: 8 ranked wrestlers did not qualify - 5 at-large bids are available.

I believe tomorrow and brackets will be the next day if I am not mistaken Ed
