2019 Big 12 Wrestling Championship: Results, schedule, brackets

The Oklahoma State wrestling team begins its postseason this weekend with the Big 12 Wrestling Championship at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Cowboys went 15-0 during the regular-season for their first undefeated season since 2005. OSU received six No. 1 seeds for the tournament.

Head coach John Smith opted to have Jacobe Smith and Dakota Geer be OSU’s 174- and 184-pound wrestlers, which resulted in a wrestle-off at 165 pounds between Joe Smith and Chandler Rogers. Joe Smith, who earned All-American honors at 157 in 2016 and 2017, won the best-of-three series 2-0 to take the spot. Joe Smith received the No. 8 seed after the change, and was moved up one spot to No. 7 after Friday’s coaches meeting when brackets were finalized.

Here’s OSU’s lineup:

125: Nick Piccininni (No. 1)

133: Daton Fix (No. 1)

141: Kaid Brock (No. 5)
