It looks like we have Virginia and the Citadel in the roundrobin pools. Some of our guys will get a good test against the Cavs. It should be interesting to see Josh against Mueller.

#25 Ream gets #35 Aaron Walker of The Citadel, that's about the only noteworthy match against The Citadel.
Here's what I have for Virginia. Rankings are from WresteStat.
125 - #7 Josh Rodriguez Dec #14 Jack Mueller 3-0 NDSU
133 - #46 Will Mason Dec #81 Cam Sykora 3-3 (good test for Cam and winnable. Cam's best win was against #72 and worst loss is to #49)
141 - #9 George DiCamillo TF #125 Taylor Nein 8-3 VU (Would be a win if Nein can hold to a MD)
149 - #92 Mitch Friedman or #74 Kyle Gliva Dec #67 Sam Krivus 8-6 VU (I'd call this a tossup, same as 133, I will give us this one)
157 - #14 Andrew Atkinson Dec #25 Clay Ream 11-6 VU (Ream will need to avenge a loss by MD last year to Atkinson)
165 - #35 Andrew Fogarty Dec #77 Ray Bethea 11-9 VU (Assuming Fogarty wrestles, otherwise we probably drop this one)
174 - #127 Dylan Urbach Dec #49 Tyler Askey Dec 12-11 NDSU (tossup)
184 - #49 Will Schany Dec #66 Tyler McNutt 14-12 VU (tossup)
197 - #93 Chance McClure Dec #104 Cordell Eaton 17-12 VU (tossup)
285 - #46 Ben Tyanan Fall #195 Chuck Boddy 18-17 NDSU
Would be awesome to see the dual end that way but it could go many different ways. We need Fogarty healthy and need to take some of these tossup matches that VU is favored in. WrestleStat predicts a 23-10 Virgina win. Regardless, should be some good matches and a fun weekend!
Is anyone out there to possibly give updates?
I won't be there, but trackwrestling will have live updates for free and you can watch the entire tournament for $14.99 through trackwrestling.
Results from The Citadel, Ream didn't wrestle. Coach Garnett replied to me on Twitter and said he was just resting, so hopefully we see him against Virginia.
