285 #8 Zach Elam vs. #15 Brandon Metz Thoughts: This is the best match in the dual meet and it is a shame that the dual will likely be decided heading into this bout. This is a big match for Elam for end of the season tournament seeding. Metz is a tremendous pinner from top […]
By Sean Mael 125 Noah Surtin or Connor Brown vs. #24 Daniel Vega Thoughts: Missouri has at two wrestlers listed at nine of the ten weight classes and most guys will see at least one dual worth of action throughout the day. Whoever ends up going for the Tigers at the lightest weight class, we […]
