Junior J’den Cox couldn’t just win.
A win by less than 15 points would’ve meant the end of the streak, an upset at the hands of No. 14 Cornell and a setback for the No. 4 Missouri wrestling team.
No, Cox would have to win big in order to keep the Tigers’ dual-win streak alive. He needed a technical fall, or a win by more than 15 points, to put Missouri ahead in the final match of Sunday’s dual in Jesse Hall.
So Cox put the team on his back. He scored takedown after takedown, 10 in total.
