2014 National Duals - Live on Flowrestling
Draws have been released for the 2014 NCAA National Duals -and we've got a good one this year, friends! Conspicuous absentees Penn State and Iowa continue to hold out of National Duals competition - reasons explained by Cael Sanderson on Twitter - but the Minnesota Golden Gophers aren't against getting themselves a National Dual Team Championship. Fresh off their HUGE WIN over Penn State, the nationally ranked #2 Gophers expect to navigate through a bracket that should pit them against Big Ten rival Ohio State and later the winner of the OU vs. Cornell semi final.
Biggest Storylines
Minnesota v OU/Cornell winner for a National title
The ridiculous slew of show-stopping individual match ups.
