CLEVELAND, Ohio — Black Friday. Cleveland Crash. Or maybe the Quicken Quarterfinals Quagmire.
Any of those terms summed up Oklahoma State's dismal NCAA Wresting Championships quarterfinals session Friday in Quicken Loans Arena. All five Cowboys lost, including two-time NCAA champion Dean Heil. It marked the first time since 2009 no Cowboy reached the semifinals.
Nick Piccininni, Kaid Brock, Boo Lewallen and Derek White also fell into the wrestlebacks, with Brock absorbing the most shocking quarterfinals loss, 13-5, to North Carolina State's Tariq Wilson. Brock blistered Wilson by a 16-1 technical fall when the teams met in Naples, Italy, Jan.
