Iowa Fans Lose It Over Penn State Wrestling’s ‘Well-Coached’ Champions
Even though Iowa locked up its first national title since 2010 Saturday afternoon, Hawkeyes fans aren’t taking a few NCAA Championships finals losses lightly.
Iowa’s followers quickly took to Twitter Saturday night to sound off on the team’s poor social media manager after Penn State crowned four national champions, including Carter Starocci, who took the 174-pound title over Iowa’s No. 1-ranked Michael Kemerer.
WHY CAN’T IOWA BEAT PENN STATE!!!

Team championship is cool but the max of 1 individual champ sucks

Is there anything more boring to watch then Penn State wrestling? They just stall for the entire match until the sudden victory.

Embarrassing Finals for Hawk fans. Poor effort.

If no individual Champs, season is a failure

A number of Iowa fans praised Penn State’s poise behind head coach Cael Sanderson, who undoubtedly built a dynasty after winning eight NCAA titles in the last 10 tournaments.
I love Iowa with all I got but.. far better coaching at Penn State.

Conversely, some fans felt Iowa didn’t coach enough or make the necessary adjustments since the Big Ten Championships earlier this month.
Iowa wrestlers have made no adjustments from the big 10’s…and it shows
