The Iowa State Cyclones return to the mat on Sunday January 26th to take on #3 Oklahoma State in Ames Iowa. The dual features 18 ranked wrestlers, with 8 total head to head ranked matches.
History: Oklahoma State leads the series with 63 wins to 22 losses. These are two of the most storied programs in NCAA history.
Don’t Miss: The 133 and 141 bouts should be fantastic, and 157 will be a real barn burner. (whatever that means) Overall many exciting matches do exist, and it should be an exciting dual meet.
Keys To Victory: The key to victory for both teams is to win more matches than the other team. It will also be important not to give up bonus points. In all honesty, this dual has lost a lot of its earlier season luster. Iowa State has really suffered a lot of loss this year. Missing from the line up is all-americans Casey Swerdiski and Yonger Bastida. Anthony Echemlinda is also out of the line up, and Christian Carroll has left the program.
