After Iowa's recent gauntlet of dual meets against top-10 opponents like Ohio State (#8), Penn State (#1), Nebraska (#5), and Minnesota (#6), today's home dual against Northwestern should feel like a bit of a break. The Wildcats are likely to be favored at none of the ten weights in the dual. Northwestern has ranked wrestlers at four weights (149, 157, 165, and 197)... but those also happen to be four of Iowa's strongest weights and weights where Iowa has a higher-ranked wrestler. The closest match to a toss-up appears to be 157, with Teemer taking on #9 Trevor Chumbley.
I'll post results in the comments.
