Iowa wrestling podcast: Evaluating Hawkeyes’ 2-0 Big Ten start and more notables from the weekend

Iowa opened its Big Ten wrestling slate with a lackluster win over Illinois, then followed it with an aggressive showing against Purdue. What did we learn about the Hawkeyes over the weekend?

That’s one of the first topics on this week’s Pinning Combination, a podcast about all things wrestling in Iowa with Hall of Fame wrestling coach Dick Briggs.

We also discuss UNI’s win over Wyoming and a milestone for Doug Schwab, plus a big weekend for Iowa State and the NWCA National Duals.

Later on, we highlight the standouts from another big weekend of high school wrestling for boys and girls, including tournaments at Benton Community, Anamosa and Ames.

Watch the full show on YouTube. You can also listen to the college and high school segments on the On Iowa Sports and Iowa Prep Sports podcast networks.
