The Cyclones will be walking into day two of the Big 12 Championships in second place and with four grapplers in the finals.
Here is what you can expect tomorrow:
The day will start with consolation matches which are as follows:

174: No. 11 Sam Colbray vs. #13 Kimball Bastian (Utah Valley)
184: #28 Marcus Coleman vs. No. 12 Anthony Montalvo (OSU)
