PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Iowa’s Tom Brands was quick and to the point. Not interested in the nitty, gritty details of a long day of wrestling at the NCAA Wrestling Championships Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center said he was going to stay boring. The Hawkeyes advanced five wrestlers to the quarterfinals – Drake Aayla (133), Mike Caliendo (165), Patrick Kennedy (174), Stephen Buchanan (197) and Ben Keuter (285) and Iowa has seven of its nine qualifiers still alive.
