Gable Says Hawkeyes Must Improve After Northern Open

With injuries to Zaputil and Oostendorp, plus questions at 126 and 134, Iowa faces needed adjustments and ongoing development for a potential three-peat NCAA title. Lincoln McIlravy shines, while true freshmen McIlravy Hatcher and Aker show promise for the future.
