Since they're off for a couple weeks I thought it would be fun to get everybody predictions for the NCAA finals. Here are mine:
125- Figueroa vs Fix
133- Crookham vs Arujao
141- Woods vs Echemendia
149- Lovett vs Henson
157- Haines vs Robb
165- O'Toole vs Mesenbrink
174- Starocci vs Lewis
184- Keckeisen vs Truax
197- Brooks vs Hidlay
285- Kervleit vs Bastida
Notes:
Fix wants a title and I don't think he's going to let 8 pounds keep him away from it
Echemendia seems like a guy who is going to keep jumping levels throughout the season and I don't think Beau's top game is enough to erase his Echemendia's strength advantage in neutral
I have Mesenbrink in the finals because I think Carr will beat O'Toole at some point which will give MM the top seed
Truax doesn't inspire a lot of confidence but after Keckeisen the talent really drops off at 184
Bastida's only tough matchup will be Schultz because of the size but he's got some Cassar-like skills for a smaller HWT
