NEW - previewing Friday's men's dual vs #18 Wisconsin

[Tanner Lafever]

Here's my preview for Friday evening's Big Ten dual opener:

#4 Iowa opens Big Ten dual schedule vs #18 Wisconsin - On3

Iowa should win pretty comfortably, but there'll still be some intriguing individual matchups at 125/133/285.

Hawks 33. Whisky 3.

Hawks 33. Whisky 3.

Im sure you are just taking a swing that Wisky will get one, but what weight are you thinking we lose?

 

[dtripp26]

Maybe 197, but there are a few landmines out there and we have a lot of rust to knock off. Also wonder what our training cycle has been, seems this is typically a heavy training time.

Would be nice to see Ludington make his CHA debut and score a win. He looked a little shaky last weekend.

If Gabe or Ludington go I expect a win at 197. I also expect us to set the tone at 125 and 133 with big wins. The one i'm worried about is 141 and I hope Peterson goes and wipes the mat with guy!

I was thinking Bailey not going and Kale takes a loss. He could actually win that match but I have lost faith in him finishing those single legs. He needs a lot of work on quick finishes.

Agree with you on 141 - until I see something different from him every match is a question mark. The others should be pretty solid wins.

At this point I prefer to watch Peterson go out and at least attempt shots even if he can’t finish them over Bailey going out there and sleep walking. Hope he’s on the bench until he wakes up.

Hope to see Ludington against a game div 1 wrestler tomorrow night. He seemed a little all or nothing wrestling at SS, especially with Novak. He looked stronger than everyone he wrestled at SS. Don't think he needs to go conservative, just more controlled. He has a good single leg but didn't see much attempt at that against Novak or Platt, hope he gets back to it.

 

[InTheCircle]

We should have some good matches out of the shoot @ 125 &133, if Fugitt wrestles. Looking forward and hoping for improvement from Bailey and Williams. Hopefully Block can dominate and Harv gets a chance to go and we’ll get the opportunity to see where BK is at.
We should comfortably win the dual, however some good matchups on the docket tonight.

Extended holiday break for some of the boys!

 

[Misalorales]

How is Bono still employed? Hawkeyes get the shutout.

 

[Jacob1one!]

Fugitt has had a rough start to the season. I think Drake has too much offense for him.

Amos is going to test the lungs of Keuter. That is going to be a test.

 

[sdvike]

Hawks 33. Whisky 3.

Didn't see Hernandez starting. Hawks 30- Whisky 7. What's up with Peterson, did he have a baby?

 

[shiphappens]

I wasn't aware he was pregnant.

 

[Anon1751917054]

We have injury,flu or things that are none of our business keeping our best guys out of line up

 

[one8alpha]

Toss ups at 125, 133, 157 197 and HWT

 

[giveitall]

Best to bubble wrap and quarantine the boys till NCAAs, gotta protect that 6th place finish.

 

[GableBeer]

Ludington loses 10-8.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Very disappointed in the development of Harvey so far

 

[MVPFAN]

197 a need weight.

 

[feros]

gassed

 

[funkisfun10]

I was high on Ludington when he committed. But....Iowa. Man I hope he wrestles Barr next week.

 

[sstark46]

Needs to add some strength and conditioning still I think but the potential is there with Harvey

 

[AFHawk86]

This heavyweight match should be illegal. I don’t even care who wins anymore.

 

[GableBeer]

Kueter gets the takedown in OT.

 

[SEWAHawk]

Man that match STUNK and BK is gassed.

a win is a win though

 

[sstark46]

SV was pretty exciting. Why can't they wrestle more like that during the first 7 minutes of the match

 

[TarpHawk1]

Stop with the stupid grin, Kueter. You didn't take a single shot in 7 minutes. That was a crap match by you, and the fact that you don't know it is damning.

 

[TarpHawk1]

Is somebody coaching him? Anyone? What is going on?

 

[AFHawk86]

Because there’s no incentive from the ref.

 

[Cedarfalls]

Kueter is unwatchable. Unfortunately he emulates the new “Iowa style”

 

[johnstownsteel]

Hmmm...dont come around here much anymore but Hawk fans seem alot more critical than I remember ..

 

[funkisfun10]

Ludington talking smack at the end of the match after he gets turned with a half. Iowa style

 

[Anon1751917054]

"Hmmm...dont come around here much anymore but Hawk fans seem alot more critical than I remember .."

Out of shape, unavailable,cocky when doing next to nothing..

Not much to be happy about

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Yay we didn't get majored.

[TarpHawk1]

Hernandez fought and got a TD. Good hustle.

 

[Fatwoodchuck]

Both Ayla and Fugitt 3 point stances, this is gonna be entertaining
