Tech fall'd his first opponent, too.

I was kind of surprised by the thin programs too, esp. since Bucknell did such a great job in 2017. Their EIWA website is terrific, in case anyone hasn't seen it: https://bucknellbison.com/sports/2023/11/30/120th-eiwa-championships-tournament-central I've heard that the teams lose money printing tho...

'll go along with Swisher, who spent much of the season at 157. I was thinking along similar lines earlier, but I was looking at someone from down in the weeds who might place unexpectedly, possibly high enough to qualify for NCAAs. I didn't come up with many -- 133 Andrew Fallon, Sacred Heart, 14-...

Columbia's Rini out at 133. No surprise there.

Harvard's Josh Kim out at 165. Penn's Kaya Sement also out at 165.

I certainly like Griffin at #6. Griffin is pre-seeded 3rd. He was 6th in the last EIWA rankings (not sure what those are based on). If he makes the semis he'll probably meet the winner of a Williams/Smith quarterfinal. Williams has beaten Griffin twice this year, but he lost a major to Smith in the...

Lehigh with four #1, three #3, #7, #9, #15.

Crookham's likely quarter-final opponent, Rini of Columbia, hasn't wrestled since December.

Army's Dalton Harkins, who wrestled exclusively at 165 this year, is entered at 184.

>>>>>>>>>The guys that will be seeded in the top 3 are not dark horses in my book. On a side note, Hopefully the seeding process will be significantly improved from last year’s fiasco. If past years' results aren't taken into account, there's no way to account for a veteran wrestler recovering from...

Probably because the issue isn't number of mats or size, it's "Who can host the EIWAs now that Cornell, Penn, and Princeton won't be in the conference?". Making Stabler the permanent site isn't going to fly. Some of the posters are thinking out loud, realizing that the forest has to be mad...

I was going for just one guy at each weight. Besides, I've already posted that Wilt is one upset away from KC.
