After back-to-back humbling defeats to Michigan and Penn State, #4 Iowa wrestling is back in action on Sunday to wrap up the Big Ten season against one final border rival, Wisconsin. The Badgers enter the dual at 9-5 overall and 3-4 against Big Ten competition, fresh off a 28-12 defeat to Minnesota on Friday night.
In addition to being the conclusion of the Big Ten season for Iowa, Sunday's dual meet is also Senior Day and the last appearance in Carver-Hawkeye Arena for a multitude of Hawkeye wrestlers. It's going to be a bittersweet affair, as not only will starters like Real Woods, Zach Glazier, and Jared Franek (and possibly Brody Teske) be taking their final bows in CHA, so will the likes of Tony Cassioppi, Nelson Brands, Abe Assad, and Cobe Siebrecht, all former starters (and All-Americans in the case of Cassioppi and Brands) whose final seasons were lost in the mess of the sports wagering debacle.
It's nice that Cassioppi, Brands, Assad, and Siebrecht will get one last moment of recognition by Iowa fans -- they certainly deserve that -- though it remains deeply frustrating that they weren't able to take the mat this season. Brennan Swafford, Aiden Harris, Charles Matthews, and Lief Schroeder will also be taking part in the Senior Day ceremony after the dual meet.
