Brackets showing both Kasak and Evans with a bye to start things at Lock Haven. Still trying to figure out if both are actually there.

 

[BigBankFrank]

So is Connor Pierce or Inman Heard going at 149 today?

How many matches do you need in order to be eligible for the Big Ten tournament? Im guessing they are trying to get both there plus have a wrestle off if they both make the finals.

You do not need any matches to be eligible for the Big10 tournament. It is a coach's decision on who goes at what weight.

I don't have all the details on this part...
One does need a minimum number of matches to get seeds and rankings that are used for seeds in NCAAs.
One will qualify for NCAAs with a high enough finish at Big10s. The number of automatic qualifiers from Big10 is also based on rankings.

 

[ElDuce]

I'm not sure I understand the rationale, but in Cael we trust

Kasak with a bye, doesn’t help
Evans first period fall. Evans gets the 2 seed next.

Evans first period fall. Evans gets the 2 seed next.

The 2 seed is Munch of Lehigh, who Kasak beat in the dual.

 

[Spice67]

Lets hope our guys are ready and have a quick start. Early start here at 12. Most likely to accommodate the BTN.

Munch just got pinned in the round of 16.

That’s some good offense from Haines. He has always been a hammer on top and it’s good to see him wreck a guy after one of the most gutsy SV performances I’ve seen in a long time.
