Key differences.

2016 Team really showed up to NCAAs - they wrestled like it was the last day on earth. And based on that performance I would have to say 2016 is a stronger team than 2023. Of course, 2023 Team might change my mind in a few weeks. I think a key difference it that 2023 has individuals that are better, but 2016 had greater depth IMO - 2016 had guys that generated team points across the board. Another key difference is 2023 is a much younger team which is encouraging.

Oh man that 2016 team was uber strong.

6-4 because it's just foolish to bet against Adonian
Hokie158 02/26/23 01:10 PM ET
I have it 6-4 as well and could be 7-3 with a Brascetta win.**

I had it 7-3; then a thought of Andonian slammed that notion on its head.

Brascetta is crazy underrated as an all timer here at tech

A Brascetta-Dylan Ness match would have provided a good gauge

None of our opinions are worth much on this one tbh
Hikinghokie 02/26/23 04:24 PM ET
I think I have to go with Bolen over ZZ based on body of work too.**

After Bolen vanquishes Hidley this Saturday
Hokie158 02/26/23 07:15 PM ET

I hate to disagree with flyer but...
VTwinsdad 02/26/23 11:34 AM ET
You make some good points; and I think I crossed a couple of guys up.

That Brascetta/Andonian match would be super interesting to watch.**
