2025 NCAA Wrestling Tournament seeds and brackets released

[RossWB]

The brackets and seeds for the 2025 NCAA Tournament are out. Iowa has wrestlers at 9 weights:

125: #29 Joey Cruz (at-large selection) vs #4 Vincent Robinson (NC ST, 18-3)
133: #2 Drake Ayala vs #31 Kade Moore (Missouri, 12-17)
141: none
149: #5 Kyle Parco vs #28 Dylan Gilcher (Michigan, 10-10)
157: #18 Jacori Teemer vs #15 Johnny Lovett (Central Michigan, 30-5)
165: #3 Mike Caliendo vs #30 Aiden Riggins (Iowa State, 14-17)
174: #11 Patrick Kennedy vs #22 Nick Incontrera (Penn, 22-6)
184: #11 Gabe Arnold vs #22 Donnell Washington (Indiana, 14-8)
197: #2 Stephen Buchanon vs #31 Remy Cotton (Michigan State, 12-12)
285: #5 Ben Kueter vs #28 Daniel Herrera (Iowa State, 26-13)

As expected, an underwhelming Big Ten Tourney performance ended up costing Iowa in terms of seeds, which also sets up some difficult-looking bracket paths for a lot of Iowa wrestlers.

I'll have a more complete look at each weight later this week.
