With the regular season approaching its end, the #15 Cyclones are up in the Twin Cities tonight to take on the #18 Gophers. This dual has been scheduled since last year, but due to the Pac-12 champion pulling out of the NWCA National Duals at the last minute it is now part of the Big Ten vs. everybody else National Duals series. So Big XII pride is on the line. Or something like that.
While the two teams are closely ranked, many of the matches in this dual are likely to end up one sided. Five of the ten matches will pit a top ten wrestler against an unranked or barely ranked opponent.
