National Duals Invitational final to air on ESPNU *seeds/brackets announced tonight*
- Thread starter Tanner Lafever
- Start date
Doesn't sound like it.
Per the press release:
"FloWrestling will be there to stream every match leading up to the finals."
Tweet says championship final will be on EspnU. Flo will have the other 27 duals
Brackets come out this evening 6pm CST on Flo. Thinking they will seed Hawks 2 and Okie St 3. Nebby 1. Anyway, we will get the path to the finals tonight.
Iowa 1 seed, Okie St 4 in likely semi. Nebby 2 and Ohio St 3.
Missouri in the first round! Ferrari vs Sinclair!
Here's the full bracket - which, all things considered, feels like a pretty great draw for the Hawkeyes:
Was really hoping to see Iowa matchups with unfamiliar opponents like Cornell, Lehigh or UNI. Odds are R1 Mizzou, R2 Illinois, Semis Okie St, Finals, Nebraska.
Flo has Iowa's probable lineup with Block at 49. Seems noteworthy.
These were the lineups submitted by the coaching staff it sounds like
Directly from Iowa's SID, "Teams had to submit a two-deep but not a probable lineup."
As such, it looks like it'd be wise to take the below graphic with a grain of salt:

I’m a huge Tiger fan, but I’ll be honest we may not win a single match vs Iowa. Hoping Sinclair can pull the upset.
Seeing these brackets reminds me how much of a ***** Penn st is for not joining this. Carl’s so unbelievably boring. Stupid bald headed idiot.

I’m honestly surprised that OkieSt. Is the 4rth seed and not the 3rd… but I’m sure there’s a reason and someone is probably sitting on OkieSt then.
Would think they are arguably better than tOSU; but you guys know the details and who will be sitting and not. Excited to hear the show tomorrow morning with Basch.
Yeah, we'll go over all the seeding stuff tomorrow on the show. Should be fun.
It’s simple. TOSU is seeded higher because they are full of top to bottom guys with solid performances at NCAA’s. Meanwhile OkState has some holes and unproven guys.

165 has Paddy pinning Lockett, that's a 10 point swing, as I have Lockett getting a major there. Okie St wins that dual.It’s simple. TOSU is seeded higher because they are full of top to bottom guys with solid performances at NCAA’s. Meanwhile OkState has some holes and unproven guys.

I thought Nebby was ranked ahead of Iowa in most polls on paper anyway but Hawks get #1. It doesn't really matter anyway at this point. This is going to be a great tournament, I think PSU will join in next year. Anyone have info on Keuter recovery, hope he is healthy and there, we will need him.
Do forfeits count- if Iowa is up by more than 7 going into 285 I don't see them sending Ben out.
I think it is a 1mil purse with the winning team getting 200k. Maybe just chump change to PSU.
They didn’t qualify given their poor NCAA finish last March.
Almost everything would have to go right for OkStste to win that dual. Feldman could and should bonus Doucet. Stiles over Swiderski is possible if not likely. Schumate over Merrril is very realistic. Fishback over Ryder is possible. Hell, even McCrone over Soratley is possible.
Simply put, tOSU has considerably more roads to victory. Mind you, the point was never that tOSU was absolutely going to beat OkState, it was simply why they deserve to be seeded ahead of them…
The top 12 team finishers at NCAAs this past March all earned automatic entry - so long as they accepted.
(Only Penn State did not.)
From there, the remainder of the field was filled via random drawing of teams who finished 13-24 at NCAAs.
Iowa State finished T-27 at NCAAs and thus was not even among the group of teams eligible to be randomly drawn in to fill out the field at National Duals.
Sorry dude, I disagree. Okie st finished ahead of them last year and I think they finish ahead of them this year. I think they finish higher at national duals as well. Just an opinion
It appears there is some reasonable enough argument that OK State should be 4, but I had someone mention to me that....Flo is probably not unhappy that they will get to broadcast Iowa vs. OK State (if it happens).
