Saturday’s semifinals will start at 1 p.m. and will decide which teams will wrestle for first-place and third at 7 p.m. Ohio State rounds out the top four seeds.
Ohio State will face fifth-seeded Missouri in the first round. The winner of that dual will wrestle the winner of Oklahoma State and eighth-seeded Illinois in the first semifinal. Iowa’s first-round foe is seventh-seeded Cornell. The winner of that dual will get either Minnesota or sixth-seeded Virginia Tech in the second semifinal.
Iowa finished third in last year’s National Duals.
