Mizzou Wrestling Suffers Loss to Oklahoma State: The Buzz

No. 18 Missouri wrestling suffered its first loss of the calendar year Friday, falling 33-3 to No. 5 Oklahoma State. Missouri won just one of the 10 matches.

Missouri has now lost four straight matchups against Oklahoma State, losing 36-3 last year. Before the last two seasons, the Tigers hadn't suffered a loss of 30 or more points in the series since 1999. Missouri's last win in the series was a 21-20 victory in February of 2022.

The Tigers' sole win Friday night came from No. 3 Aeoden Sinclair taking down No. 8 Zack Ryder at 184 pounds.

Mizzou quote of the Day:

“I knew I didn’t have the most ability, but I tried to use my strength and size. I just wanted to play as hard as I could. Coach Stewart was such a great coach because he prepared us. We were mentally tough. Other teams had more ability than us, but we were confident we were going to do well.”
