A tad early to assess, but let's take a look
125:
PSU - #16 seed Drew Hildebrandt
Iowa - #13 seed Drake Ayala
Mich - #1 seed Nick Suriano
- Hildebrandt and Ayala lost; Suriano won. Hildebrandt @ #17 lost to #16 -- kind of a toss-up. Ayala @ #13 lost to #20. PSU and Iowa were hoping for/expecting wins here. Michigan assumed they'd get a win. So, below expectations for PSU and Iowa; met expectations for Michigan
133:
PSU - #1 seed RBY
Iowa - #5 seed Austin DeSanto
Mich - #6 seed Dylan Ragusin
- RBY won by MAJor, DeSanto won by TF, Ragusin won by DEC. RBY and DeSanto were expected to win and they both got bonus points. A slight plus for Iowa as DeSanto got a TF. Ragusin won but did not score bonus points, so a negative for them
141:
PSU - #1 seed Nick Lee
Iowa - #2 seed Jaydin Eierman
Mich - #24 seed Stevan Micic
Lee won by MAJor, Eierman won by DEC, and Micic lost. Lee and Eierman were expected to win. A plus for PSU as they scored bonus and Iowa did not. Michigan was probably hoping that Micic could summon some of his former prowess, but he was a #24 facing a #9 seed, so by chalk his defeat was expected
149:
PSU - #13 seed Beau Bartlett
Iowa - #8 seed Max Murin
Mich - no wrestler
- Bartlett won by DEC, and Murin won by fall. A plus for Iowa with the bonus points, especially since that was the only fall at 149.
157:
PSU - #16 seed Brady Berge
Iowa - #9 seed Kaleb Young
Mich - #8 seed Will Lewan
- Berge lost, Young won by DEC, Lewan won in SV. Berge was in a #16 vs. #17 match, so that's a tossup, and the match was really close. Young won by 1 point in a DEC. Lewan won 4-2 in SV. PSU was hoping/expecting a win from Brady, but by seed it was a toss-up, whereas Young and Lewan were expected to win. A slight plus for Iowa and for Mich
165:
PSU - no wrestler
Iowa - #3 seed Alex Marinelli
Mich - #6 seed Cameron Amine
- Marinelli won by DEC and Amine won by DEC. Marinelli was a 3 seed vs a #30 seed, and Amine was a 6 seed vs a #27 seed. PSU scored what they expected. Iowa and Mich got advancement, but both were likely disappointed in not getting bonus
174:
PSU - #1 seed Carter Starocci
Iowa - #5 seed Michael Kemerer
Mich - #3 seed Logan Massa
- CStar won by PIN, Kemerer won by DEC,and Massa won by MAJor. A plus for PSU, a negative for Iowa, and a push for Mich
184:
PSU - #2 seed Aaron Brooks
Iowa - #18 seed Abe Assad
Mich - #1 seed Myles Amine
- Brooks won by MAJor, Assad lost DEC, and Amin won by TF. A slight plus for Mich in getting extra bonus points but it's about what PSU and Mich expected. Iowa had a #18 against a #15 seed (Bolen, VT), so by chalk they should have expected the outcome. I'm sure they were hoping for a win
197:
PSU - #1 seed Max Dean
Iowa - #6 seed Jacob Warner
Mich - #4 seed Patrick Brucki
- Dean won by TF, Warner won by MAJor, and Brucki won by DEC. A slight advantage for PSU, and a disappointment for Mich
285:
PSU - #4 seed Kerk
Iowa - #3 seed Tony Cassioppi
Mich - #7 seed Mason Parris
- Kerk won by PIN, Cassioppi won by DEC, and Parris won by MAJor. A plus for PSU, a disappointment for Iowa, and a slight plus for Mich
That's the data for each weight class. Others can draw overall conclusions.Wow!!
