Hildebrandt is No. 16. Means he'd face Suriano in the second round. Brutal.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

125:
Suriano is the 1 seed
Drew Hildebrandt is the 16 seed, so he'd get Suriano in R2

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ugh, dinner is being served early tonight.

#2 Vito Arujau
#3 Pat Glory
#6 Eric Barnett (Wisky)
#7 Travor Mastrogiovani (Ok. St.)

RBY is No. 1. Ten years since there was a repeat champ, per the NCAA broadcast.

"I think he's one of the best overall wrestlers in the country regardless of weight class," analyst Shane Sparks said.

Feel like we’ve gotten jobbed at 3 weights already, 125, 157 and 184 (even 133 too with DeSanto 5). Hildebrandt has no one to blame but himself but the rest are pretty bruta.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

165:
#1 is evan Wick (Cal Poly
#4 is Dean Hamiti (Wisky)
#3 is Alex Marinelli (Iowa)
#2 is Keegan O'Toole (Mizzou)

 

[GregPickel]

Carter Starocci is the top-seed at 174. The Penn State wrestler and defending NCAA champ will first battle the winner of a 33/32 bout between Connor O'Neill of Rutgers and Dominic Solis of Maryland. Starocci just pinned Solis in the Big Ten quarterfinals.

Amine earned the 1 at 184

 

[Tom McAndrew]

174:

#1 is Carter Starocci
#8 is Michael O'Mailey (Drexel)
#5 is Michael Kemerer (Iowa)
#4 is Hayden Hidley (NC St)

 

[GregPickel]

After losing the Big Ten final, Aaron Brooks is the No. 2 seed behind the man who beat him, Myles Amine of Michigan at 184. It puts Brooks on the same side of the bracket as three-seed Trent Hidlay of North Carolina State, who is a Pennsylvania native, of course. Brooks will face No. 31 AJ Burkhart of Lehigh first. Brooks was out of the lineup when the Lions met Lehigh earlier this season.

 

[IronLion]

Amine earned the 1 at 184

I agree, Amine and Brooks should not be on same side of bracket.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

more 174:

#3 Logan Massa (Mich)
#6 is Dustin Plott (Ok St.)
#7 is Ethan Smith (Ohio St.)
#2 is Mekhi Lewis (VT)

they aren't

 

[JBott]

Brady Berge is the No. 16 seed. He will face No. 17 Hunter Willits of Oregon State in Round 1. Berge wasn't back with Penn State yet when the Lions and Beavers met in November. The winner gets top-seeded David Carr of Iowa State in Round 2.

How does Berge get the #16 and Young the #9
seed when Berge beat him twice last weekend?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

184:
#1 is Myles Amine (Mich)
#8 is Marcus Coleman (Iowa St)
#5 is Bernie Truax (Cal Poly)
#4 is Parker Keckeisen (UNI)

#3 is Trent Hidlay (NC St)
#6 is Trey Munoz (Oreg. St)
#7 is Kaleb Romero (Ohio St)
#2 is Aaron Brooks

 

[GregPickel]

Max Dean is the top-seed at 197 after winning his first Big Ten title. The Penn State wrestler draws the winner of a 33/32 bout between Matthew Waddell of Chatanooga and Will Feldkamp of Clarion. Dean would need to again beat Michigan's Patrick Brucki to make the finals. Dean beat Brucki in the regular season, 6-4 in sudden victory.

 

[IronLion]

they aren't

Ha, I was still going with Mineo’s tweet, my bad.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

197 (top half)

#1 is Max Dean
#8 is Lou Deprez (Binghamton)
#9 is Nono Bonaccorsi (Pitt)

Caffey, too, I just realized.

[Chris92]

32 is Mekhi Lewis (VT)

Hoping that's a scary typo.

 

[GregPickel]

Greg Kerkvliet is No. 4 at heavyweight after finishing third in the Big Ten tournament. That puts him on the same side of the bracket as Minnesota hammer Gable Steveson. The Penn State heavyweight draws No. 29 Brandon Metz of North Dakota State first. Five seed and undefeated Air Force wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson is the likely quarterfinal opponent if both get there.
