College Weekend Preview

University of Michigan Preview

The #13 Wolverines will travel to Columbus today for a showdown with the #7 Buckeyes at the Corvelli Center. Michigan is coming off a split this past weekend where they lost to #1 Penn State but beat #14 Rutgers. Expect another tough match-up for UofM, as Ohio State is ranked in all 10 weight classes, including top-10 at 141 and 149. Look for 133, 149, and 184 to be the key match-ups to decide the outcome of the dual.

Michigan leads 72-22-4 in the all-time series against Ohio State and has claimed five of the last eight meetings.

Central Michigan University Preview

The Chippewas are riding a two match winning streak, including a 44-0 shutout over Edinboro a weekend ago. This weekend, CMU will wrestle two MAC matches, at Northern Illinois on Saturday and at Southern Illinois Edwardsville on Sunday. While Sunday's dual against SIUE is a great opportunity to pick up a win, Saturday's action will be very competitive. The dual against the Huskies will likely come down to CMU's anchors between 149 and 174, including the match of the dual at 149. While Jones is not currently ranked for NIU, he has been in-and-out of the lineup, so that will be a great test for a red hot Munson.

CMU-NIU Projected Lineups

125 - Sean Spidle (CMU) vs Blake West (NIU)
133 - Vince Perez (CMU) vs Nathaniel Genobana (NIU)
141 - Jimmy Nugent (CMU) vs Jacob Brya (NIU)
149 - #16 Corbyn Munson (CMU) vs Jaivon Jones (NIU)
157 - #26 Johnny Lovett (CMU) vs Munktulga Zuunbayan (NIU)
165 - Tracy Hubbard (CMU) vs Tommy Bennett (NIU)
174 - #28 Alex Cramer (CMU) vs Hayden Pummel (NIU)
