The Cowboys improve to 1-0 (1-0 Big 12) on the year, while the Cyclones fall to 0-4 (0-1 Big 12).
“Overall, I was pleased with a few of them that wrestled really well,†coach John Smith said. “Jordan Oliver and Josh Kindig – stepping up and getting quick falls. I even liked Bailey's first two periods. He looked like he quit a little bit in the third. Chris McNeil gave me a lot of hope in the third period, scoring that takedown, and he should have scored the second one.
“It was definitely an eye-opener for me that I saw several areas, especially on our feet and on the mat that we need to work on.â€
