Don't go too crazy on me Ban, as I went to UNI (for a semester) and want them to be a great team, not just great at a weight here and there from time to time. |
Little known and overlooked fact from last year: UNI outperformed their seeds and rank last year at the NCAA's. They will be a little better this year than last year, so I'm guessing that that 25 ranking will be eclipsed.
People also need to remember that if they just wrestled within their conference and a couple of other tougher duals throughout the year, they could pad their record to be one of the top teams every year, simply by wins and losses. Rather, they deliberately wrestle a tough schedule, which gives people the impression of a "down" year.
They'll be better this year.
