TULSA — Dustin Plott didn’t want to miss his bedtime.
An opportunity to open the Big 12 finals with its first match and a win eliminated any chance of that.
Plott, OSU’s 174-pounder, earned his second straight Big 12 title with a 5-3 triumph over Missouri’s Peyton Mocco on Sunday night at the BOK Center in Tulsa.
His 8 p.m. final put Plott close to his bedtime, he said, but the aggressiveness showed.
“I was like, ‘Man, I’m gonna need some caffeine wrestling at 9 or 10 o’clock at night,” Plott said.
Plott beat Mocco in last year’s final and avenged a February loss on Sunday night.
