Crowning six champions in the Big Ten Conference is certainly improbable. However, Iowa wrestling has beat overwhelming odds time and again this season.

The Big Ten Tournament will provide Iowa with its latest test, pitting the best Hawkeye wrestlers against the best competition the Big Ten has to offer.

125-pound Spencer Lee has wrestled elite opponents all season long and extinguished each of them with relative ease. Lee has only wrestled into the third period three times this season. He also beat second-seeded Devin Schroder of Purdue by technical fall earlier this year.

174-pound Michael Kemerer beat the second seed in his weight class earlier this season, as well. Kemerer defeated Mark Hall to become the nation’s top-ranked wrestler at 174-pounds on Jan. 31. The senior extinguished eight potential Big Ten tournament foes during the regular season.

Pat Lugo is the tournament’s second seed at 149-pounds. His only loss this season came to top-seeded Sammy Sasso in the first tiebreak of their Jan. 24 match. Lugo defeated the wrestlers seeded third and fourth earlier this season.

Alex Marinelli claimed last year’s Big Ten title at 165-pounds. Top-seeded Vincenzo Joseph appears to be the only man that might bar Marinelli from becoming a two-time champion. Marinelli’s only loss of the season came against Joseph on Jan. 31.

Kaleb Young is the No. 2 seed at 157-pounds. Young did not lose a single Big Ten match this season. He has not faced top-seeded Ryan Deakin this year, but Young did win his most recent match with Deakin at last year’s NCAA Tournament.

Max Murin is the Hawkeye that could make some unexpected noise at 141-pounds. Murin did not wrestle the top two seeds during the regular season. Hiss only loss of the season came to fourth-seeded Chad Red Jr. of Nebraska.
