Re: Panther match ups at NCAA
Same thing I've been saying all along: Wrestling in Iowa is an entirely different animal than all other sports. Because our men's basketball team does well does not equate into our wrestling team doing as well in Iowa. Simply stated, we compete with the top two teams in the country for recruits, facilities, money, etc. That is a TOUGH task to overcome.
With that said, yes, we can improve and should expect to improve, but like anything else in sports, it goes in cycles. There are down years and up years. However, for anyone to expect UNI to be in the realm of Iowa nd Iowa State in wrestling is delusional. We haven't been for over 30 years and we likely won't be anytime soon, regardless of staff. That is realism. Panther fans know and understand this.
