It appears the Big Ten title will return to Iowa City, afterall.
After a poor semifinal round, Minnesota was in control at the Big Ten wrestling tournament, but Iowa won five of six consolation semifinals Saturday afternoon and Joe Slaton and Brent Metcalf scored key wins over Gophers to put Iow back in control.
Slaton finished third at 133 and Metcalf whipped 2006 NCAA champ Dustin Schlatter, 5-3, with a takedown with 10 seconds left to win the 149 title.
