The bracket are out, there are some 2nd/3rd string gophers in the brackets but this should give us a decent gauge of how the dual my look later in the year.

125: Bianchi NDSU (2 seed), Brown SDSU (3 seed)...Portillo SDSU is 4 seed.
133: Gross SDSU is 1 seed. Sykora is not wrestling.
141: Pohlmeyer SDSU (1 seed), he could face NDSU guys every round after the 1st round. Hopefully, he can live up to seed and build some confidence.
149: Gliva NDSU (1 seed), Bengston NDSU (2 seed), C. Carlson SDSU (4 seed), Prieto has Bengston 1st round.
157: Ream NDSU (1 seed) and Zilverberg SDSU (2 seed).
165: Fogarty NDSU (1 seed), Peterson SDSU (2 seed) and Bye SDSU (3 seed). Not sure why Z. Carlson is not wrestling, he had a nice tournament last weekend.
174: Kocer SDSU (1 seed) and Shearer (2 seed)
184: Ayers SDSU (1 seed), Mueller SDSU (2 seed), McNutt NDSU (3 seed) and Witzig NDSU (4 seed)
197: Rotert SDSU (1 seed) and Eaton NDSU (2 seed)
285: Metz NDSU (1 seed) and Vough SDSU (2 seed)

On paper the teams each have 5 weights they are favored in. Assuming both guys make it to the finals 157 should be a good battle. 141 and 184 are weights we are favored in and should win, but we have not always been consistent at these weights hopefully we show consistency there. 125 will be a good gauge of where Brown/Portillo are at. Bianchi and Petry are a step up from them but by no means unbeatable.

Anyone see what happened to Rotert? I didn't catch the match he was DQ for.

Saw a tweet he threw a punch and was disqualified rest of tournament?? If true it seems uncharacteristic for Nate.

His opponent kept twisting and hanging on to his fingers. Rotert would inform the ref, but the ref never saw it. Finally Rotert retaliated. Not the right thing to do, but that's what lead up to it.
