I read similar comments from the wrestling faithful on The Mat. Mizzou fans seemed very disturbed at what they saw. Hopefully Smith can get it all straightened out...Lewis missed weight - No explanation as to why Eiernman or Lavallee did not compete.
Must have been preplanned for them to sit out as back ups were brought in those spots. We had no back up for Lewis at the dual. Coach Smith ended up putting DeLoach at 165 and forfeiting 157 but originally Deloach was to be at 157. That was a strange decision but I am sure Coach Smith had a good reason The team wrestled very poorly not much energy or fire displayed. It was very difficult to watch as a diehard Tiger fan.

Agreed on the MAC matchups.... Cornell will be a real test !Good chance for the backups to get more experience with the two matches against two of the MAC cellar dwellers. I keep thinking this team still has a chance to make it to the podium in St. Louis and have a great season, but it has to get healthy. However, it is mid-January now. Time is running out.
I got it from a "reliable source" that Manley is done due to injuries. Erneste at '33 and Eierman at '41 the rest of the way.
Why has Cox been out of the lineup ?Missouri vs Cornell
