I am not sure if there is really a favorite...I have seen every expert pick a mixture of Iowa, OSU, and Mizzou, some even with Minnesota. Mizzou has the most momentum and ability to produce the most champions, but they are likely to have less AA's overall, so they will need 3 guys in the finals imo to win it (three of Waters, Cox, Houdshelt, and maybe Mayes) or get some big upsets elsewhere. Our big looming matchups (assuming we wrestle well in the first few rounds) will be Tomasello vs. Waters and Snyder vs. Cox...both very winnable and at least getting one of those would be huge. The key for us is in the consolations imo. We are going to have some losses in quarters/semi's...hopefully not a ton but we have some really tough roads to the finals. All three of our freshman will face the #1 seed before finals (assuming they get there, which is pretty tough itself...particularly for Bo matching up with Sulzer in the quarters). Johnny D will hopefully get to semi's but he would face Dardanes, who I highly doubt he beats. IF Demas beats Kelly and Murphy, I highly doubt he beats Green in the quarters. We have 9 guys imo that could all AA...Martin and Courts are highly unlikely, but the point is we need to get some wins after they drop down into consolations.
Awesome they are showing all of it though, I am pumped. But here is a link to all the broadcast times for the tourney: Link
