IOWA CITY, Iowa – One of the greatest rivalries in college wrestling will add another chapter when No. 3 Iowa faces No. 2 Oklahoma State on Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Sunday’s dual, which starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be televised by the Big Ten Network, marks the 58th all-time meeting between the two wrestling powers that have combined to win 58 NCAA Championships (Oklahoma State 34, Iowa 24). The Cowboys lead the all-time series, 29-26-2.
Iowa has won eight of the last time meetings, including a 22-9 victory in Stillwater, Oklahoma last season.
Iowa head coach Tom Brands and select Iowa wrestlers met with the media on Tuesday to discuss the upcoming showdown with Oklahoma State.
Former Penn State star wrestler David Taylor is in his first season as the Oklahoma State head coach,
