NORMAN — It took a video review in the final seconds to settle an intensely competitive match that gave Oklahoma State’s Reece Witcraft a tight victory and came to encapsulate the day for coach John Smith’s wrestling squad.
Good enough on the scoreboard, but lacking, at times, in Smith’s eyes.
The No. 9-ranked Cowboys defeated Oklahoma 23-9 Sunday at McCasland Field House, the first Bedlam dual at OU in three seasons.
And the importance of such a victory is not lost on Smith, whose teams have won 10 consecutive duals against the Sooners.
“I would say we won a little bit ugly today, but we won,” Smith said.
