You can defend Brands or not defend him. You can say overall they wrestled well or they didn't.
Reality is 4th place in the conference what anyone expects from an Iowa Wrestling team?
Brands no worse than 4th? Based on what? He wrestled the tourney of his life last year and got 5th. Yes it was a great tourney for him but to say he would automatically be no worse then 4th is a bit of a stretch.
