BIG APPLE, BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: IOWA WRESTLING FINISHES 5TH AT NCAA TOURNAMENT

Things fell apart for Iowa on the final day of the NCAA Tournament, leaving the Hawkeyes nothing but disappointment.

After a pretty good Friday for the Iowa Hawkeyes -- they went 4-1 in the quarterfinals and 3-1 in the semifinals to put three wrestlers in Saturday's championship finals -- Saturday was an abject disaster. Iowa went 1-6 in seven matches on Saturday, with the only win coming from Nathan Burak's 3-1 sudden victory win in the consolation semifinals at 197 lbs. Burak then lost his 3rd place match, while Alex Meyer and Sammy Brooks also lost their 7th place matches in the consolation round.
