Have to disregard where we finished in team standings solely because of injuries. We will have to wait till Feb. to find out what this team can do. I think the lack of points at 157 is going to be a big factor, especially in the 2 tournaments. We might be a 3rd place finish at the Big 12. Could be lower if the injury bug bites this team. I’m most interested in watching Plott and our 165 transfer. I’m afraid Fix will be remembered as one of our best wrestlers to never win a NCAA championship. Seems ironic. I wonder why we didn’t find a157 guy in the portal? No scholarship money left?
In other words, we’ll be lucky to finish in the Top 15. Pretty sad state, when Misery has a much better team than Oklahoma State, one of the most dominant programs ever.
