    Seeds released for Big 12 Championships

    LINCOLN -- Official seedings for Saturday's Big 12 Wrestling Championship were announced by the league office tonight. Seedings are finalized by a vote of the conference coaches and are based on head-to-head competition against Big 12 opponents, highest-ranked common opponents and current national rankings.

    Six NU wrestlers earned a top-three seed to avoid the pigtail round, including junior Jordan Burroughs (157) and Vince Jones (184) at No. 1. The two natives of Sicklerville, N.J., both enter the Big 12 Championship undefeated in conference action. Craig Brester (197) and Brandon Browne (174) are No. 2 seeds, while Robert Sanders (149) and Stephen Dwyer (165) earned the third seed in their respective weight class. A full list of the final seedings is below.

    Doors to the NU Coliseum open at 10 a.m. with the pigtail round set to begin at 11 a.m. and semifinals at noon. The second session commences at 4 p.m. with consolation matches, while the finals start at 7 p.m. Tickets can still be purchased at the door. All-session packages are $20 for reserved seating or $15 for general admission, while single-session tickets are $12 for reserved and $8 for general admission.
