Utter domination.

28-3, Cyclones.

OU's only points came on a 3-2 victory by Flaggart over Bertolino.

I thought THIS was the ultimate world domination game:

(from the James Bond film "Never Say Never Again")

Yup, we need to get OSU and build some confidence on our way to a second BigXII Championship. We've seen some rough times here as of late in wrestling we need this to build momentum.

We all have to realize that this team is very young yet. A lot of the bodies that are make up this program are sophs. Yes you have you couple weight classes of upper classmen but for the most part we are still very young. We can't get down on these guys we just have to go support them. I think that this team will do well at the NCAA's. This team is something special to see and will be great to watch in the future.

As far as I'm concerned, I think this team has done about what was expected. They are ranked 8th/9th which is ridiculous. They are a top 5 team. Dual wrestling is so much about matchups that it is almost impossible to rank the top 10 teams accurately. I hope no one has jumped off the bandwagon they got on last year because this team is good. They will be even better next year. And even better the next year. ISU wrestling is in a good place right now.

9 of our guys currently have a higher Big 12 Tournament seed than their Oklahoma counterparts, based on tonight's results. However, Spates withheld his normal 133 pounder (Shelton). He will do that on occasion to protect seedings. If his normal guy doesn't lose, then he can try to argue for a better seed. Shady.

The B12 is all about head-to-head to determine seedings. It is incredibly important to stay out of the #4 and #5 spots.

The 133 seeding meeting will be very interesting if Fanthorpe loses some Big 12 matches. The seeds as I see them now are:

1. #1 Coleman Scott - OSU
2. #7 Nick Fanthrorpe - ISU
3. #8 Kenny Jordan - Nebraska
4. Tyler McCormick - Mizzou (if he makes it back before Big 12's)
5. #13 Brian Shelton - OU

Shelton was definitely ducking Fanthorpe as this weight is extremely loaded. Tyler McCormick is a returning AA who has been injured most of the season. I am not sure of his status on if he will wrestle in any of the remaining Big 12 Conference Duals. I could see this weight taking all five to Nationals.
