NCAA Rankings 2018-19
197 Bo Nickal
Malik McDonald threw a monkey-wrench into an otherwise smoothly operating top 10, knocking off the former #8 Eric Schultz. McDonald enters the top 20 at #18 and Schultz drops to #12 as a result.
The bottom quarter of the bracket remains a conundrum, with West Virginia's young and promising Noah Adams losing to Pittsburgh's unranked Kellan Stout. Both Adams and Cornell's Ben Honis, who Adams beat earlier this year, fall out of the top 20. Air Force's Anthony McLaughlin, who is undefeated on the season, snags the final slot in the top 20.
