RU vs UNC Wrestling Predictions

[bigmatt718]

After a good showing vs an OSU team that looks more like a college all star wrestling team, I expect RU to get back to their winning dual ways at home vs UNC. 149 will be the best match of the night with Heilmann vs DeLuca who is red hot and could be Top 10 or close to it after the Hayes upset. I think RU will take at least 7 of 10 matches vs UNC, possibly more if Gravina and Mulligan wrestle and get the Dual W.

125 Suriano TF, RU 5-0
133 DelVecchio Win, RU 8-0
141 MVB Lose, RU 8-3
149 DeLuca Win, RU 11-3
157 JVB Win, RU 11-3
165 Lewis Major, RU 15-3
174 Grello Lose, RU 15-6
184 Gravina Win if wrestles, RU 18-6,
Pagano Lose at 184, RU 15-9
197 Mulligan Win, RU 21-6 or 18-9
HVY Gross Lose, RU 21-9 or 18-12 Final.

"I predict PAIN"

One of my favorite movie lines of all time!!!

 

[Lattner]

Could be close.

 

[rubigtimenow]

We really can't afford to lose this match. So I hope we put out a great squad with great focus and hungry for a dual win.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Two heavy favorites for Rutgers, Suriano and Lewis. Two moderate favorites for North Carolina, Headlee and Ramos. Everything else is a toss-up. Most other matches are with guys who have similar records against common opponents. Should be a good one, and I think are RU wins.

 

[61RayStreet]

Ramos hasn't wrestled in awhile.

Ramos hasn't wrestled in awhile.

You're right. Injured at Cliff Keen. Still listed as starter in Wrestlestat, which means no one has changed it there.

Can anyone provide details on the matchups including rankings of anticipated UNC wrestlers? Will put predictions into better context. Thanks!

That's where I usually get the Dual matchup predictions from. Obviously they aren't 100 percent reliable as it doesn't factor in backups or injuries.

The RAC should be rocking for this one. These are the fun ones for us fans, when every match matters and every point scored is magnified. Will be a crazy, boisterous crowd

 

[R U Crazy]

141 & 157 will be interesting
MVB lost 9-5 almost a year ago to Headlee.
Want to see if he does better.

 

[dconifer]

Speaking of UNC, how's Jack Clark doing? I didn't see his name in any posts here...

 

[IroniaHorse]

Ramos hasn't wrestled in awhile.

Tito will be ready to go...

UNC is hot and cold, when they wrestle well they are a tuff out.

125-RU major 4-0--I see a 14-4 type score.
133-RU dec 7-0....Sherman has wrestled well should be a good match
141-UNC dec 7-3...would like to see MVB get a big win here.
149-UNC dec 7-6...another excellent matchup.
157-RU dec 10-6...this match should have some fireworks.
165-RU major 14-6...on paper this is a mismatch.
174-UNC dec 14-9...Ramos is a hammer when healthy
184-RU dec 17-9..If Gravina, if Pagano toss-up
197-UNC dec 17-12...another shot for Mulligan to get a big win.
HWT-UNC dec 17-15...Daniel too big for Gross.

Should be an excellent dual.

Speaking of UNC, how's Jack Clark doing? I didn't see his name in any posts here...

dconifer-Jack Clark had to give up wrestling due to injuries(not cleared to wrestle any longer).

Good job here SGF, very fair assesment. Heels are gonna need 33 to win,jmo,they might be able to squeeze a bonus pt or 2 up top(might)

Aww, that's a shame, I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for the info...

Off of rankings alone it looks like a loss. But i don't pretend to know how any of these guys match up.

197 Mulligan Win, RU 21-6 or 18-9
HVY Gross Lose, RU 21-9 or 18-12 Final.

Math is off between 149 and 157, so add more points to the victory!

 

[FoxRU]

This match could be closer than expected. A lot depends on injuries and bonus points. We need bonus at 125, 165 and possibly 184. We cant get pinned at HWT. 141 and 157 are important for the match as well as NCAA qualification down the road. Would love to see Grello take out Ramos if he wrestles but that is a tall order. If we wrestle like we did against OSU, we should win. Should be a fun match. Go RU.

125: #2 Nick Suriano vs James Szymanski
-Major or tech here, go with tech 5-0 RU
133: #14 Scott Dellvecchio vs #19 Zach Sherman
-Advantage to Scott but Sherman (from Blair) is good. This match is important. Decision to Scott. 8-0 RU
141: MVB vs #17 AC Headlee
-MVB can win this match. Headlee is good but streaky. Another important match. Decision UNC. 8-3 RU.
149:#12 Eleazar Deluca vs. #5 Troy Heilmann
-Heilmann has great fundamentals and will be tough for Deluca here. Decision UNC. 8-6 RU
157: #18 JVB vs #16 Kennedy Monday
-Big match here. Monday is a gifted athlete, great blast double, can scramble. Toss up. We win here and we win the match. JVB. 11-6 RU
165: #12 Richie Lewis vs Clay Lautt
-Need bonus here. Major for Lewis. 15-6 RU
174: Joe Grello vs Adis Radoncic or #11 Ethan Ramos (Hasn't Wrestled)
-Depends on who wrestles. Toss up, UNC. 15-9 RU
184: #11 Nick Gravina vs Chip Ness
-Does Gravina wrestle here? Need him. Dec RU. 18-9 RU
197: Kevin Mulligan vs #14 Danny Chaid
-Does Mulligan wrestle here. Dec UNC. 18-12 RU
285: Razohnn Gross vs Cory Daniel
-Stay off your back Ray. Dec UNC. 18-15 RU

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

There are just too many question marks and toss-up matches to predict this one. I think we win and it is not as close as people think it will be.

We will win 125, 157, 165. I think we can win every other bout. There are no matches I put in the UNC column, except for 174 if Ramos goes and is 100%.

 

[Abro1975]

Since this might be the only time Ramos gets to wrestle in his home state during his college career, I’m guessing he will make every attempt to do so, if physically possible.

 

[IroniaHorse]

Ramos good to go

 

[Abro1975]

Good Match on BTN TV at 9pm, Penn St vs Michigan, M matches up decently, won't win,but will probably win as many as 4 bouts.

Iowa vs Ok St on BTN TV on Sunday as well.
