It's not often in the sport of wrestling things go as you think they will. For one there's a ton of parity and other variables that factor in. You can deduce and decide on paper until you're blue in the face, but anything can happen out on the mat. With that said, I think this weight class ought to go according to prediction. The BIG XII has been allotted five spots to the NCAA tournament and I think the five I have slotted to go, will be the five that qualify.
I think Taylor Lujan of Northern Iowa will walk through this tournament unto his second BIG XII title. As to his finals opponent, results indicate Anthony Mantalvo of Oklahoma State, although I wouldn't be surprised to see it as Zach Carlson of South Dakota State or Alan Clothier of Northern Colorado, depending on the seeding.
Iowa State's Marcus Coleman looks to take the final qualification.
How I would seed?
#1 Taylor Lujan senior Northern Iowa
#2 Anthony Mantalvo freshman Oklahoma State
#3 Zach Carlson senior South Dakota State
#4 Alan Clothier senior Northern Colorado
#5 Marcus Coleman sophomore Iowa State
#6 Darrien Roberts freshman Oklahoma
#7 Tate Samuelson sophomore Wyoming
#8 Hunter Cruz freshman Fresno State
