PREDICTIONS: #12 Mizzou (6-2) vs #17 Oklahoma (5-2)

#12 Mizzou (6-2) vs #17 Oklahoma (5-2)

All Time Record vs: 13-42

Mizzou had their SIUE dual canceled, so this will be their first dual of 2022 after winning the Southern Scuffle. Oklahoma is coming off a 3-0 performance at the Virginia duals, but most of their ranked wrestlers did suffer upset losses. Mizzou last wrestled OU in 2017 and lost in Norman 18-24. This dual should feature seven ranked matches, with Mizzou holding the advantage in six of them. OU has had some recent lineup rotations, so there could be a variety of lineups fans end up seeing. This will also be the first time we’ve seen Zach Elam in a month since he missed the Scuffle. 

125lbs: #13 Noah Surtin (12-3) vs #32 Joey Prata (8-4)

Surtin is coming off a solid but likely disappointing Scuffle performance after finishing fourth. He faces Prata, who is coming off 1-2 performance at the Virginia duals and was upset twice. Prata is a stingy wrestler, who hasn’t been bonused or given up more than eight points all season. However, I think Surtin has the ability to score bonus against Prata, and may have a fire lit under him from the Scuffle. He will still have to wrestle smart, as Prata can be tough from top and is an experienced wrestler. I’ll take Surtin getting his sixth bonus-point win of the season, but it’ll be close. 

Prediction: Surtin Maj. Prata 10-2 (MIZ 4 OU 0)
