Missouri Wrestling head coach Brian Smith won his 250th career dual win over Northern Colorado, 42-0, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo.

The Tigers lost to No. 5 Oklahoma State 33-3, only scoring one takedown in 10 matches. The Tigers came back on Sunday with a dominate win over the Bears.

Missouri’s win gives the Tigers a 4–0 all-time lead overall over Northern Colorado. According to Missouri Athletics, the series began during the 1977–78 season. The Tigers’ 42-point total marked the fifth time this season Missouri has defeated an opponent by 40 points or more.

Missouri came out on top with a win by James Conway (165), who opened the second half against Logan Glynn (UNCO) to continue the Tigers’ dominance. Conway maintained control throughout the bout, ultimately securing a 5:12 technical fall over Glynn.

No. 3 Aeoden Sinclair (184) recorded his 17th bonus-point victory of the season, defeating Mahroni Rushton (UNCO) 10–3 by decision.

No. 18 Missouri is now 9–7 overall and 3–2 against Big 12 opponents. Up next, the Tigers will travel to Little Rock to face the Little Rock Trojans on Saturday, January 31, at 6:30 p.m. The dual will be streamed on FloWrestling.
