Cardiac Big 12
Northern Colorado vs. Wyoming, Oklahoma State vs. Missouri, and Iowa State vs. Pittsburgh all had dramatic finishes coming down to the last match for each dual. Daton Fix gets a major for Oklahoma State, Sam Schuyler gets a win for Iowa State, and a fall for Xavier Doolin puts Northern Colorado over Wyoming. What a fun and exciting dual weekend for the Big 12 conference.
The Big 12 goes undefeated this week in the Non-Conference
This deep in the season, we usually don’t see a ton of non-conference matchups, but the Big 12 had three with Oklahoma State wrestling Michigan in the Bout at the Ballpark, Iowa State wrestling Pittsburgh, and Oklahoma wrestling Rider at home. All three teams won in marquee duals helping bolster the conference perception around the country. The Big 12 stands behind only the Big Ten in non -conference dual record total wins and percentage currently.
Wyoming gets their first win
Wyoming nearly got two Big 12 wins this weekend, losing a heartbreaker to Northern Colorado on Sunday in Laramie. But the Cowboys avoided a winless season by dominating Utah Valley 26-6 on Saturday.
