The weekend offers three conference dual-meets, in addition to Little Rock facing Big XII opponent Oklahoma and CSU Bakersfield facing a future Big XII opponent in California Baptist.

Meanwhile, Oregon State hosts Cal Poly, with the winner splitting the tie in the standings - both teams boast identical 1-1 Pac-12 records entering the dual, having beaten Little Rock and losing to Arizona State.

#7 Arizona State vs. Stanford (11am Pacific) *Pac-12 Dual
A few intriguing match-ups could arise in this dual-meet, with Stanford paying a visit to Tempe to meet a surging Arizona State squad. Although the Cardinal are not in the InterMat Top-25 Dual Team Rankings, they are #17 in the tournament team standings, for good reason. (Arizona State is currently #4 as a tournament team.) The Cardinal lineup features five ranked-wrestlers, to the Sun Devils' seven, and we expect three ranked matches featuring a potential five All-Americans at 133, 149, and 165lbs.

#24 Oregon State vs. Cal Poly (7pm Pacific) *Pac-12 Dual
Similar to the Arizona State-Stanford meet, discussed above, the dual between #24 Oregon State and Cal Poly offers intrigue - for although they are unranked in duals, the Mustangs are the #12 tournament team in the country (Oregon State is unranked in the tournament standings).
