Oklahoma – 23rd Place (20.0 Points) Link to Brackets The Sooners secured their highest NCAA finish since 13th in 2016 thanks to Stephen Buchanan’s strong 3rd place finish.

#10 Oklahoma State – 10th (56.0 Points) Link to Brackets The Cowboys are firmly in the top ten as 11th place is 6.5 points behind. With two in the finals tonight the most points they could score is 12, which would be two pins in the finals. That would give them 68 points which would leave them short of a trophy finish. Regardless, the team finishes back in the top ten since struggling the past two years and Olejnik improved his finish from last season by placing fifth. With Fix and Plott getting big matches in the finals the team could still push and improve as well.  133lbs: #1 Daton Fix ..read more

The Sooners have an All-American in Stephen Buchanan, who won’t finish lower than 6th after two strong wins for a podium finish. Josh Heindselman also came razor close but lost a heart breaking overtime match to just miss out. The Sooners are in a solid place team wise, but any extra points from Buchanan would be huge at this point.  197lbs: #8 Stephen Buchanan Champ. Round 1: #8 Stephen Buchanan Tech #25 Ben Smith (CSU) (5:16 18-1) Champ. Round 2: #8 Stephen Buchanan Maj. #9 Stephen Little (LR) (14-3) Quarterfinals: #1 Aaron Brooks (PSU) Fall #8 Stephen Buchanan (2:4 ..read more

#10 Oklahoma State – 8th (55.0 Points) Link to Brackets The Cowboys rebounded well and put one more on the podium with Olejnik getting an upset. Spratley suffered a tough loss but Olejnik improved upon his finish from last year already and they have two in the finals. It’s a tight team race and the Cowboys aren’t out of it, but it’ll take some big moves tomorrow.  125lbs: #6 Troy Spratley – DNP Champ. Round 1: #6 Troy Spratley Dec. #27 Max Gallagher (6-0) Champ.

#10 Oklahoma State – 9th (33.0 Points) Link to Brackets The Cowboys had a rough early session day II with Jordan Williams, Teague Travis, and Konner Doucet all going 2-2 to end the tournament. Spratley and Olejnik both dropped their quarterfinal matches, while Fix won a razor close one to make the podium for the 5th time. Plott was the highlight as he dominated his way to the semis and put the Cowboys in a position to score more placement points in tonight’s session.  125lbs: #6 Troy Spratley Champ.

Oklahoma – 22nd (4.5 Points) Link to Brackets 133lbs: #29 Jace Koelzer Champ. Round 1: #4 Dylan Shawver (RUT) Maj. #29 Jace Koelzer (10-0) Next Match: Cons. Round 1 – #20 Tyler Wells (Minnesota) Koelzer had a tough first match with Big 10 champ Shawver and wasn’t able to get his own offense going. His next match could get interesting as true freshman Tyler Wells. Wells has some solid wins this season, including an overtime win over Shawver in a dual. However as a true freshman he also has some unexpected losses, and if Koelzer can use his experience then look out.  1 ..read more
