There’s no time to rest for the Iowa men’s wrestling team as the Hawkeyes make a quick turnaround from a 22-10 road win over Nebraska to a home dual against Minnesota on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday.
The Hawkeyes won seven of their 10 matches on Friday night against Nebraska, with six of those wins over ranked opponents. That effort gave coach Tom Brands his 15th win over the Cornhuskers during his Iowa tenure, as he remains undefeated against Nebraska.
“These guys are taking anything that’s thrown at them” Brands said. “They know it is an important time of the year, getting closer and closer to the postseason and they keep getting better. They get tougher when it is a tough situation, that is what we love about them and that is what they love about the sport.”
The Hawkeyes will now turn their attention toward No. 10 Minnesota, which has nine ranked wrestlers in its projected lineup. Just one of them, 184-pound senior Isaiah Salzar (No. 10), cracks the top 10 of their weight-class rankings.
