Questions for many fanbases have been asked throughout the season, and now it’s time to start getting some answers.
How will top ranked wrestlers fair in a Covid-shortened season?
Is this year’s Iowa team the best of all time?
Will Maryland pick up a single team point?
Can a Penn State squad which starts 6 freshman pull off the improbable?
Will I consume an entire party-sized bag of M&M’s on Saturday? Um, yes. You will
For the first time, the Big Ten Network will be covering the full action for both Saturday and Sunday. Each session will have multiple mats going at once with coverage most likely looking at a single featured match and live scoring on screen for the other mats.
