The Hawks are down to just three dual meets before the tournament season begins. I like to break down each weight to see what the matchups are. Iowa will host #16 Wisconsin on Saturday for the final home appearance of the year. Iowa will then go on the road to battle #5 Oklahoma State and #7 Nebraska.
#4 Jacob Warner will continue to face the best of the best when he faces the #1, #3, and #22 ranked wrestlers in the final dual meets. #10 Max Murin will face the #7, #8, and #13 ranked wrestlers in the country.
Every one of these matches will be important for seeds at Big Tens and the NCAA National Tournament. You can bet that these three dual meets will have a lot of intense competition.
As fans we will be entertained with these three dual meets. I have no doubt about that.
