It wasn't pretty. 0 Iowa champs. Only 1 Iowa finalist, who was shockingly upset in the finals. 6 of 9 Iowa wrestlers finished below their seed. They lost their final 3 matches.
But they won. Barely. Luckily. With a whimper rather than with a bang. Not the way they wanted to win. Not the way I wanted to see them to win.
There were highlights. If you were within a 1-block radius when Iowa's #7 seeded heavyweight pinned Iowa State's #1 seeded heavyweight this morning, you would've heard me whooping it up. That was one of Iowa's few upsets, and it moved the team into first place, where they stayed.
I guarantee that no one on the Iowa team or coaching staff is happy. And that's why they're Iowa.
