…the National Duals and Big Ten Championships. Iowa vs Wisconsin this Sunday at CHA to end regular season. Iowa should dominate the dual meet if they are focused, determined, and wrestle aggressive. The Hawks have more favored and talented wrestlers than the Badgers. “GO HAWKS, beat the Badgers!”
And then it’s onto the National Duals soon after. The BigTen’s at Purdue in West Lafayette is in March, so is the NCAA championships in St. Louis.
Iowa should be able to make the Final Four at the National Duals, but after that, it’s Katy bar the door.
Iowa defeated Wisconsin in a blowout, 39-3. Iowa won 9 of 10 matches with many bonus points. Evans at 165 got his second pin in a row. Iowa led 36-0 before Lira at 197 lost for Iowa, to Hein of Wisconsin. DSJ finally wrestled again at 157 and Telford was back at heavyweight, they both won their matches by decision. Gambrall didn’t wrestle at 197 or at 184, not sure what he will do next at the National Duals. Good job overall by the Hawkeye wrestlers.
Good job Hawks.
Way to go Hawks. I remember there was a UW vs. PSU match last year where the Badger gave up a last second move that gave PSU enough points to edge out Iowa for the NC. Anyone remember that match in more detail than I do? I would certainly hope so!!
Goldenhawk, I can’t remember if it was Wisconsin’s Rutt at 184 or Brandvold at 197 that got upset by a Penn State wrestler, to give PSU the BigTen title. I tried to put that tourney out of my misery,haha lol. Remember when #8 Iowa knocked off #1 Penn State at State College last year during the regular season? That’s why Hawk fans felt oh-so cheated to lose Big Ten tourney to PSU by one stinkin’ point, 139-138.
This season is kinda strange to say the least in NCAA wrestling. Minnesota upset #1 Penn State, and then loses at #6 Iowa. #2 Oklahoma State ties #1 Iowa 16-16, but wins with criteria point,17-16. #3 Iowa upset at #7 Ohio State. Iowa and Minnesota have 3-losses, while Penn State has 1,and Ok State is still undefeated. “GO HAWKS,win National Duals!”
How do you delete double-posts anyway? I know I have another one on these wrestling threads that needs to be deleted.
Iowa won the first step of the National Duals tourney by winning its regional in Ames last Sunday over Virginia Tech and Oregon State. It gets tougher in Stillwater on Sunday against Minnesota. Hopefully Iowa can beat them and Oklahoma State. “GO HAWKS, win the National Duals!”
Why did Penn State opt out? they are the only top 10 team missing from the tournament, and it takes away some of the legitimacy.
Iowa blew it at the National Duals in Stillwater and lost to Minny, 16-15. It came down to heavyweight. Iowa led 15-13 and Telford lost 2-0, with a 1-pt escape and gave up too much riding time. Grant Gambrall also wrestled at 184 and lost his match. Iowa now wrestles for 3rd place tonight vs Illinois at 6pm (CT). Okie State vs Minny in championship, how pathetic!
Iowa did way better in its 3rd place dual against Illinois and won, 28-6. A pin by DSJ, a major by Grant Gambrall at 184 and Telford won at heavyweight. Iowa won 8 of 10 matches. Only Kelly at 149 and Wagner at 197 lost matches. I assume Ok State beat Minny for championship, but the Cowpies only led 13-12 after 165 lbs, so I don’t know how that dual turned out. I could care less, at least the Hawks beat Illinois!
Losing to 3rd-ranked MN is not pathetic. Iowa is still a top-5 team. This was just a “down” year, by Iowa standards.
Actually Minn won 18-13. Looks like a huge blow to OSU title hopes as it appears Alan Gelogaev may be done for the year. Hope that DSJ and GG can build on these wins in the 3rd place match and be AA threats in 4 weeks. If they are, Iowa has the firepower to do damage in St Louis. They may only qualify 8, but they could also have 8 AA.
I don’t see us doing very well at nationals. PSU and Okie State will probably battle it out. Hope we are in the thick of it, but I could see a couple other schools sneak ahead of us. Big Tens will be tough and hope we are able to qualify most of the team.
I believe Iowa should have beat Minny, but I’m glad the Goophers upset Okie State in their own back yard. I think the Big Tens and NCAAs could be really interesting for Iowa, Minny, and Penn State. I really don’t want Okie State or Cornell winning title. Of Iowa standards losing to Minnesota by a stinkin’ point after you beat them less than a month ago seems kind of pathetic to me! I hope Iowa has heavyweight figured out by Big Tens. Thanks to Telford being so-so.
