The Iowa State Cyclones return to the mat on Saturday January 11th to take on Bucknell in Hampton Virginia. The dual features 10 ranked wrestlers, with only 2 head to head ranked matches. The must see match of the night takes place at 133.
History: Iowa State leads the series with 2 wins to 0 losses. This years meeting should provide another Cyclone victory, as they are heavy favorites, while the 165 bout will also be entertaining.
Keys To Victory: Iowa State is a heavy favorite and just needs to show up, they could even wrestle a few backups and still have nothing to worry about. Bucknell has no clear path to victory.
