Yeah, this won't be easy for Iowa, although I do expect that they will win.

125: Flynn dec Cruz (0-3)
133: Ayala MD Wells (4-3)
141: Vombaur TF Schriever (4-8)
149: Parco MD Roberts (8-8)
157: Teemer dec Askey (11-8) <- This match is probably the decider. Askey beats Estrada (or Teemer if not 100%).
165: Caliendo dec Sparks (14-8)
174: Kennedy dec Whiting (17-8)
184: McEnelly dec Arnold (17-11)
197: Buchanan dec Salazar (20-11)
HWT: Steveson TF Kueter (20-16)

If you flip 157, Minny wins 19-17. Vombaur and Steveson should ensure that Minny has more bonus points, so Iowa needs the 6th match. Caliendo-Sparks and Kennedy-Whiting are also matches that could be upsets on a bad day. Minny has a solid team this year.

Some rumblings that Brands could be back at 174. And I wouldn't put it past Tom to send out Ferrari at 184 depending on the situation and/or if it makes sense to protect Gabe's seed.

They need Gabe to wrestle and win for his seeding. If he ducks McEnelly, he won't be a top 3 seed at B1Gs, but he will if he beats him. A 4 or 5 puts him on a crash course with Starocci in the semis, which he'll want to avoid at all costs. A loss to McEnelly won't hurt him because he's already behind him right now anyway. So if they are thinking of his seeding, they need to send him out there and hope for an upset. He's good enough, especially defensively, that it's not unthinkable if he can hold the match to one TD at the end or in SV-1.

Think you’re right, a Minny loss would feel devastating to the Iowa program. They have no problem benching Gabe again and sending him to B10’s with shattered confidence

I think they go with PK 174 and Gabe 184 tonight regardless. Wouldn't shock me if we saw Brands against Hamiti next week. No doubt in my mind we see Angelo vs Plott
 
A lot would have to go wrong for Iowa to lose to Minnesota. They would need to sweep their 5 winnable matches and I don't see that happening.

125 - I think Flynn has been hobbled and I would take Cruz over any backup or even against a hobbled Flynn
141 - Yes, Vombaur should cruise but Schriever is hard to bonus
174 - I favor either Iowa guy over Whiting
184 - McEnelly beats Gabe but not by bonus
285 - Gable techs

Don't see them having a shot at any of the other 5 weights.

It's more like it's hard for Beau to get motivated to bonus anyone. Since wrestling Beau, Schriever got stuck by Brown and majored (almost tech'd) by Hardy. Vombaur will lay it on him.
 
Ive seen it multiple places now that Schriever got pinned by Brown, but they are at different weight classes. Pretty sure it was Peterson that got stuck at 133

The official Iowa and Maryland team sites agree with you. Wrestlestat seems to have it wrong.

My apologies. It came from Wrestlestat, which is obviously wrong since it has Schriever at both 133 and 141.


Regardless, beating Dario Lemus 6-5 isn't exactly much more impressive than getting pinned by Braxton Brown. LOL.
 
Also, Ethen Miller sat tonight vs Joey Blaze so he will finish undefeated in the Big 10. He did beat Blaze earlier this year at a tourney.

I have to say even with the lopsided loss to Iowa, I'm impressed with minny. Eggum is doing something right they are fight ING for points the whole match even to the extent of giving bonus and they are good scrambles. Iowa is alway ruff in duals but they are boring to watch, imo.
