Iowa Wrestling: No. 2 Iowa vs Illinois & Purdue - Preview, How to Watch Guide, & Match Thread

Related Topics: Abe Assad, Tom Brands

Here we are, just hours away from kicking off the official Big Ten dual season for our #2 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes! Considering the Illinois dual is later tonight (followed by a trip to Purdue on Sunday) I won’t waste a lot of time here with the histories of these programs. By now, we know who they are.

According to the official notes we’re 54-26 all-time against The Fighting Illini including a 36-3 clubbing in Champaign last year, in which they won one match at 133lbs. FYI - it very well could be a rematch again this year: Lucas Byrd vs Cullan Schriever.
