The #7 UNI Panthers are back on the mat on Saturday February 1st at 6 pm in Morgantown Virginia, against #23 West Virginia in what should be an outstanding meet. The dual features 17 ranked wrestlers and 7 ranked head to head bouts.

Don’t Miss:  The 141 and 149 bouts should both be ultra competitive, and consist of some of the most evenly matched bouts according to the national rankings. Also don’t miss the 184 bout, anytime Parker Keckeisen takes the mat, its worth watching.

Keys To Victory:  The Panthers are favored in 7 of the 10 bouts, while West Virginia is favored in 2, while the heavyweight bout is a complete toss up. With a dual this close, bonus points are going to be huge. UNI has an opportunity for bonus points at  141, 157, and 184. While West Virginia can score bonus points at 165.

125 Trevor Anderson #22 vs Jett Strickenberger #10

133 Julian Farber #21 vs Tommy Maddox

141 Cael Happel #6 vs Jordan Titus #32

149 Colin Realbuto #10 vs Sam Hillegas

The #6 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes return to the mat in Ann Arbor Michigan, on Saturday February 1st at 2 pm against the #16 Michigan Wolverines. The dual features 17 ranked wrestlers, with 7  head to head ranked matches. Including, 2 top 10 match-ups.

Don’t Miss:  141 should be the match of the night, the defending NCAA Champion Jesse Mendez vs Iowa Matmen’s 141 lb Dark horse contender Sergio Lemley. Mendez is the heavy favorite, however Sergio is a rising star looking to build a name for himself. This will be a barn-burner.

Keys To Victory: Ohio State is favored in 7 of the 10 bouts, so they need to stay consistent and win the matches they are favored to win. Both teams could use bonus points in such a closely contested dual. Michigan needs an upset or two. I believe the opportunity exists at 141 and 165.

125 Brendan McCrone #12 vs  Wilfried Tanefeu

133 Nic Bouzakis #10 vs Nolan Wertanen

141 Jesse Mendez #2 vs Sergio Lemley #9

149 Dylan D’Emilio #10 vs Dylan Gilcher #28

157 Sammy Sasso #19 vs Chase Saldate #16

165  Paddy Gallagher #13 vs Beau Montanona #18

174  Carson Karchula #5 vs Joseph Walker

184 Ryder Rogotzke #20 vs Jaden Bullock #17

197 Seth Shumate #18 vs Jacob Cardenas #2

285 Nick Feldman #5 vs Josh Heindselman #10

Conclusion: I have Ohio State winning 8 of the 10 bouts and taking the dual meet with a score of 30-7. Michigan picks up wins at 157 and 197. The 141 and Heavyweight bouts will be the best of the night. The dual will air on BTN.
