A busy week of Cy-Hawk competition begins Sunday in Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday when second ranked Iowa hosts number-seven Iowa State. The Hawkeyes have won the last 16 duals in the series but the intensity has returned, especially in the wake of a post dual scuffle last year in Ames following Iowa’s 23-11 win. ISU coach Kevin Dresser.

It has been several years since this dual has seen so much hype.

Who the Hawkeyes send out to the mat remains a mystery at several weights as a number of regulars have been battling injury.

Iowa coach Tom Brands has never lost to Iowa State and The Cyclones will look for their victory in the series since 2004.

Brands says Iowa State’s rose in the national rankings does not change how they approach it.

Brands calls it a great opportunity for his team.
