Only a few more days until the biggest college wrestling tournament in the country! The NCAA Division I Tournament begins on Thursday, March 21, in Pittsburgh, PA, at 12:00 noon EDT, 9:00 am PDT.
So here we go:
Brackets - they are out: They are here - brackets, you can also find them on the Tournament website or at TrackWrestling.
Weight class of Beavers in the tournament:
125 - Ronnie Bresser, seeded fourth, first match is #18, faces the #29 seed
133 - Devan Turner,
seeded 32nd, you'll find him in a pigtail at the top of the 133
bracket, Devan will be the first Beaver out on the mat, drawing the
second match of the tournament, wrestling the #33 seed
141 - Grant Willits,
seeded #31, will be initiated into the NCAA's with a baptism of fire,
facing the #2 seed Joey McKenna in his first match, #58. That's okay
Grant, the bigger they are the harder they fall!
157 - Hunter Willits,
seeded #28, did not get a much "easier" draw than his brother. Hunter
wrestles in the #79 match vs the #5 seed, each match is an opportunity,
upsets can occur anytime
