Why Iowa Will Choke This Weekend

No but I can see them being dissatisfied with a 140 point performance similar to how a lot of us felt with 2019 (Shak DNPed, Nick 5th, Cenzo/Mark both lose)
Where is Clarence with his snarky laughter?
No. They crush it as an overall team but I think they leave AAs and points on the board
They wont run a perfect tournament.
Overall I think we will have a lot to talk about in the offseason

Iowa typically has peaked at Big Tens under Brands. They've got better wrestlers than they've had for a while, but will everyone wrestle to seed or above? I doubt it. I'm guessing they have fewer finalists than expected based on seeds. Penn State has typically peaked at NCAAs and has had people step up and wrestle above seed. Iowa should have enough to win handily with 10 wrestlers including 4 expected finalists. I think it will probably be closer than Big Tens, however.
They could significantly underperform their seeds and still win by 30. I’m just looking forward to enjoying the tournament, rooting for our guys, and hoping nobody tests positive.
Iowa has enough experience and talent to withstand some underperformance and still win, this year. However, here is a short list of Iowa guys who have a good chance to underperform in the next few days: Murin, DeSanto, Young and Warner. None of these guys will perform to seed.
That's the wildcard in all this. I hope that all wrestlers qualified get to compete.
Murin is “only” seeded in 12th after his 0-2 BBQ at B10’s. I don’t really see him doing much worse than that. Agree with the rest, although only agree with DeSanto since he seems to be injured
Historically you are correct, however, this is a year like no other...who knows what happens.
That Spencer Lee is in that room smiling at everybody and stopping the Brands from stressing everyone out. Arggh!!
They’ll come back down to Earth after Spencer leaves.That Spencer Lee is in that room smiling at everybody and stopping the Brands from stressing everyone out. Arggh!!
