Based on the teams that will be in participation, we're looking at some great finals matchups in most of the weights and even some great semi-final matchups in others.

Would imagine the #1 seed would go to Allen, with what could be an interesting semi-final on the other side of the bracket between Fallon and Roes. Last week Fallon put his name on the map with a huge upset over Virginia's Patrick McCormick. Roes on the other hand, did not look good in his debut on the season. This potential matchup presents a grand opportunity for Fallon to get another respectable win under his belt and for Roes to redeem himself from a bad weekend.
Anthony Sobotker Binghamton 133 |
Coming fresh off a win via fall vs Sammy Alvarez of Rutgers, I would think Sobotker easily adds a title to his resume in front of a home crowd.
141 |
The last time that Gil and Hunt met, Gil won via technical fall. Not sure if Gil will win by that much of a margin again, but he will once again win this matchup. I do believe Hunt is likely to be Gil's opponent in the finals.

My bets are on Cabanillas to win the title here, but I'm anxious to see Lombard in competition. I think he could be dangerous for a number of reasons. First and foremost he's a transfer from Michigan and he's gunning to make his mark in his new home. What better place to do it than the Bearcat Open? Secondly, even though he went 0-2 this past weekend he had two tough losses in sudden victory to MAC runner-up Marcus Robinson of Cleveland State and BIG 10 3rd place finisher Mike Van Brill of Rutgers. This potential final could end up a very competitive match.
Andrew Cerniglia Navy 157 |
I think we're looking at another example of where Cerniglia ought to just walk through the competition. I don't see him being challenged by anyone.
165 |
Fitzpatrick and Hague are two wrestlers currently outside of the top 33 rankings that could easily find themselves within the top 33 by year's end. Either would benefit with a win over the other especially since both compete in the EIWA. This is the final I see in this tournament. Should be a good match.
174 |
I think that Nolan ought to win this bracket easily enough, adding a title for host Binghamton. Anxious to see who is finals opponent will be. At this point, I would think it would either be Shannon or Pedro.
184 |
Deprez Vs Key could easily be the best match of the entire tournament. The two have met before with Deprez coming out on top with an 8-3 victory. Bourne, who had an impressive 2-1 victory over NCAA qualifier Joe Accousti of Sacred Heart, should be our 3rd place winner.
197 |
Koser ought to fly through this tournament without any resistance. The question is who will be his finals opponent. I see it being either Day or Wilson, which I would think would be a good semi-final match.
Joe Doyle Binghamton HWT |
Binghamton ought to close out their open by crowning another champion. Don't see Doyle having any trouble in doing so.
