No one has them yet. I've only seen the participants. I don't want that. I want the brackets!!!
Enough with the games!!! Gimme the brackets!

Brackets up now
http://www.NCAA.com/uploadedFiles/Sports/Wrestling/DIWresBrackets.pdf
Buckeye opening round matches
125 - Triggas vs. Donahoe
133 - Humphrey vs. Deubel
141 - #6 Jaggers vs. Delgado
149 - #9 Palmer vs. Harrison/Larson
157 - Johnstone bye
184 - #2 Pucillo vs. Murphy
285 - #2 Bergman vs. Walker
Notes:
- Triggas tough opening round match vs. returning champ Donahoe
- Humphries should win first match then face #1 Gomez
- Jaggers has a great shot to the finals will have to face Sulzer in round of 16, he then faces off against Russell who he has beaten before then Griffin who he matches up very well against.
- #9 Palmer will have to face Patascil in the round of 16, I think he wins the rematch but then will have to face Metcalf in the quarterfinals
- Johnstone will face off with #1 Gillepsie in round of 16
- #2 Pucillo has a clear shot to the quarterfinals before wreslting Keddy most likely. He will square off with Todd again and should he prevail advance to the finals
- #2 Bergman seems he has a clear shot to the finals to face Fox again
I think Ohio State could very well be looking at a Top 5 finish if all goes well.

I would have preferred Sinnott be #3 & face Pucillo, but I guess it's pretty hard to duck anyone at this level. I think #8 Kish has an easier route to the semi's than Mike; but hey, you got to beat the best to be the best, I guess.
I was also hoping Palmer would be in an opposite bracket to Metcalf.

Palmer did not get a great draw but that's partly due to the depth of the weight....I like Jags draw in general but would guard against overconfidence. It all starts by winning the first then you wait and see what happens....Pucillo has a solid draw but will have to possibly face Keddy and Todd back to back to make the finals...Someone said Kish has a good draw but this guy is trying to wrestle with one arm. he won't win a match....Johnstone gets Gillespie in round 2....Bergman has a solid path in my opinion while Fox's old nemesis, Bubba Gritter, could see him early in the tourney. Not sure how Matt Fields ended up the 4th seed...Triggas likely faces Paul Donohue in the 2nd round.
This tournament is always undpredictable so expect upsets. Hopefully, the Bucks and Golden Flashes will be the ones dishing them out.

Does anyone know what type of TV coverage, other than the finals, will be available? Quarters or semi's?

It looks like the quarters semis placement matches and finals are all on ESPN or ESPNU.

There will be a good amount of coverage for this weekend's tournament. I thought I read somewhere that three rounds were being covered.
If the folks doing the coverage cover the matches like golf covers those tournaments, the action will never stop. It will be too much for any one person to consume!!!!!!! Bitter will keel over! (actually, he might be able to keep up!)
But one thing is for sure...I'll be there, watching it live!!!

That Beezer article is a complete joke. His insight is shotty and he can't even match his predictions to what he wrote on the bottom.
The comment about Dustin Schlatter knowing his reign was over at 149 is a complete joke. The match went down to the wire.
Fox rack up points? He won the last match 2-0 with an escape and riding time. How does the two and three seed wrestle each other in the finals at 133?
If this is the quality that rev likes to produce which it seems like it does they will fold up shop.

Beezer predicts Glenn as Champ and then in his notes says that Davis is going to beat him? Apparently his focus is elsewhere i.e. he commented on Jaggers' tan?
