Live Updates: Minnesota v. Iowa
Christian Pyles
Post match thoughts: Absolutely insane dual. Upsets for Minnesota at 125 and 157. Upsets for Iowa at 141, 174 and 285!
Telford really out-worked Nelson in that match, but I felt Chris Dardanes and Storley out-worked their Iowa counterparts.
Not many takedowns for Iowa, but there's some results you can feel good about. I thought Zilverberg put up a good fight, but bottom issues are looming large for Minnesota with the Dardanes brothers, to an extent Ness(who was ridden for some time before doing Ness things) and Zilverberg. Storley should have gotten away and is normally quite good on bottom, but you have to create the illusion of stalling on Evans there(which is what is going on 100%).
A lot to wrap your head around!
Insanity and unpredictability reigns supreme for this dual and this season.
Feel free to read through all the recaps below!
