In what many dubbed the “Match of the Year” between No. 1 Keegan O’Toole and No. 2 David Carr, Carr emerged victorious, 7-2. Carr, known for his sharp technique, showed flashes of his scrambling ability as he got two takedowns in the win over the defending 165-pound national champion. Carr also showed his prowess on top, riding O’Toole for the entire third period to secure the riding time point.
The dual featured four top 10 matchups and Iowa State took four of 10 bouts, including two of the top 10 matchups. Missouri got pins at 125 and 149 pounds to separate themselves in with the later coming in sudden victory.
Marcus Coleman got Iowa State on the board at 184 pounds with a gritty 4-2 decision over Colton Hawks. The wrestlers traded escapes before Coleman secured the go-ahead takedown with less than a minute left and rode him out to secure the riding time point.
Sam Schuyler picked up another victory for the Cyclones at 285 pounds to tie the dual, 6-6, after four matches. The Cyclone senior used a pair of first-period takedowns to defeat No. 7 Zach Elam, 5-3. Schuyler was previously 0-3 in his career against Elam.
Missouri took control of the dual with a pin at 125 pounds, but Zach Redding got the Cyclones back into it with a 7-5 decision over Connor Brown at 133 pounds.
Paniro Johnson dropped a tight one to No. 7 Brock Mauller.

Mauller eventually countered a Johnson shot and took the Cyclone to his back for the pin in 8:45.
