No. 5 Iowa wrestling prepares to visit No. 2 Ohio State Friday night
February 4th, 2026 by Ric Hanson
Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands would like to see his team become more fanatical as the Hawkeyes try to turn their season around. The fifth ranked Hawkeyes take a 9-4 dual to second ranked Ohio State Friday night. The four losses are the most for the program since 2012.
Brands feels there is a lot of room for improvement.
It will be their second dual against Ohio State this season. The Buckeyes beat the Hawkeyes 27-12 at the National Duals in mid-November.
