OK State v. Iowa
- Thread starter OSUBigBadBob
- Start date
I’m hearing Ferrari and JWill are going. Not sure on Bailey.
As you would expect, we probably won’t know until Sunday if Casey and Ryder are going.
I'm guess we will miss Casey and Ryder this weekend as well? Hopefully they are back by Big 12s. That would mean probable wins for Block and Arnold. I'm guessing with Bailey being out 141 and 197 will be probable wins for us. 2-2 there. With that said.
Sprately dec Peterson
Jax Dec Ayala
Robideau(If he is 100%) MD VV/JW, if he is not 100%, will be dec here.
Dee dec Caliendo
Kennedy dec Facundo
Doucet dec Keuter
24-10 for OSU

Was really hoping for Casey to get one of his losses back against Block. I know it’s more important to have him in Ryder for the postseason. Iowa’s roster also down 2 starters as well. We better get it done.
Would really like to see Alex get one of his losses back against Kennedy.

The ACC announcers said Casey would certainly be back for Iowa. Not sure what they know. I cannot see Ryder returning this year with what happened to his shoulder twice. I have no inside information, but a shoulder injury like that is really tough to return from within months.
I would be surprised, but not shocked if Iowa pulls off an upset. DT will cater to the fans as much as possible with light shows, intro songs, and social media posts, but he has an ironclad plan for the season that he will not deviate from even if it means sending the fans home a little sad in February.
The Little Rock, Iowa, and Big XII Tournament were our worst showings last year. If the VT dual was any indication, we might be on a similar trajectory this year. DT knows all will be forgiven if the boys go crazy at NCAAs.
All that said, we are so much better than Iowa that it shouldn't matter.

I said what I said. We have a much better wrestling team than Iowa. That is no guarantee we're going to win the dual meet. Lousier teams win dual meets all the time.
I don’t think Troy loses again to Dean. He had that one won in November and kinda blew it. I think Jax wins at 133. I think 141, 157 and 197 are locks for us. I could see us stumbling at 165. Mikey needs a win. I think Facundo gets it done at 174. I think 149 and 184 are locks for Iowa and I think Konner wins at 285. I think Keuter is hurt.
I could see it ending up 6-4 one way or another as well. If Iowa is gonna win they've to wrestle like they did against Nebraska. They would need Drake to win and get some bonus along the way. Kueter hasn't looked great lately but that match is probably a toss up
Not coming off an injury, no. You don't want extra force and leverage on that foot
Another way to look at it is order of most likely to win for each team down through ~50/50% chance. OSU heavily favored in 3 weights (bonus expected) and Iowa favored in 2. Reasonable to see remaining individual matches could go either way but home mat advantage. OSU prob needs to win 2 of the 5 and Iowa 4 of the 5.

Its February ... everybody is "dinged up" don't ya think?
Dinged up or not, Landon is still winning even if it's not pretty.
I was suspecting a niggle for Landon as well. He is not quite his usual self last few weeks after that incident few weeks ago.
