The NCAA Championships present a huge opportunity for the Oklahoma State wrestling program to bring home their 35th National Title. They dominated the Big 12 Championships two weeks prior to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis.
OK State enters the NCAA Championships ranked no. 2 in the country, only behind the no. 1 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. The Nittany Lions defeated the Cowboys at Gallagher-Iba Arena on Feb. 19, handing OK State their only loss of the 2016-17 campaign.
However, OK State got the momentum shift they needed in a record setting performance at the Big 12 Championships in Tulsa on March 4 and 5.
