Anyone know why Keuter isn’t wrestling? I understand sitting the first one, but he’s gotta shake off the rust at some point.

NCST has a guy named Don Cates. Takes time off from his work as a PI to come wrestle on the weekends.

Koy Buesgens, Don Cates, Everest Oullette. NCST may have wrapped up the name championship on day 1.

Pretty sick counter from Ferrari on Ghadiali. Dive roll, totally flat, and comes up to his feet like it's nothing. Kid's a moose.

Decent showing today in both matches, but still shaking off some rust.

Nice to see Bailey and Massoma showing some fire. Not nice to see Williams get out-hustled and out-slicked. Not Caliendo's & Kennedy's best matches...both a step slow--Ferrari too.

Give me Block over KV, please.

Let's go in the AM!

Illini like that defensive gameplan and play it close and try to steal at the end. Im pretty sure that's why they loved it when they pulled Joey Gunther from Iowa years ago, he was the poster child for that gameplan. Only 3 in that lineup tonight that had any kind of attack til end of match.

looked lackluster this match for a few guys
Ayala needs to get to his shot and finish early in the match
I hope Edeneme answered some of the question today
Keuter will be a go tomorrow

Dinner was braised beef with egg noodles and peas with side of meatballs
red wine

That version of Williams is not even in the conversation to AA.

Any word on Martys injury, I didn't even really see what he injured? I assume Ben will go today but was weird to not see him get the call against Luffmann.

If he is banged up, there just wasn’t a good reason for him to wrestle a tough Big 10 opponent. The team didn’t need it to win and a loss would most likely put him behind Luffman at the Big 10 tourney and even worse, possibly behind anyone Luffman may lose to.

it would be different if they had a conference dual with Illinois, but, since they don’t, this was the best strategy. Again, as long as he was/is banged up.

From everything i keep hearing the plan is for him to wrestle today. If thats true yesterday was only precaution with the duals already wrapped up
Again, I only shared what I heard directly from one of the MatPac coaches.

Hopefully, it was precautionary. Iowa is a 5th-9th place team without Big Ben at HWT.

Everything I said was true. Regardless of the validity of the source. He told me exactly that. Meaning, it's true that someone told me. The context may be false.
No, I mean theres zero chance (without other injuries) that Iowa places lower than 5th.
