The BasicsÂ
The sixth-ranked Oklahoma State wrestling team (9-0 overall; 4-0 Big 12) hosts the second round of Bedlam at 5 p.m. on Sunday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

The Series – OklahomaÂ
The Bedlam dual series dates back to 1920, a bout that Oklahoma State won a staggering 50-0 in StillÂwater. OSU leads the all-time rivalry series 144-27-10. Sunday's dual marks the 182nd time the two teams have met for dual competition. The teams met in Norman on Feb. 7, where the Pokes won 24-10 to give John Smith his 50th win over the Sooners and OSU's 12th straight win in the series. The most recent win for the Sooners was a 16-15 win at home in 2013. Oklahoma State holds a 78-12-2 advantage in Stillwater where OU has not won since Nov. 28, 1995.

Â
Senior Sendoff
Oklahoma State will honor seven seniors during intermission of the dual, at the end of the fifth match. The group of Kaid Brock, Dakota Geer, Dusty Hone, Boo Lewallen, Neil Putnam and Andrew Nieman have had immense success in their OSU caÂreers. Brock, Lewallen and Geer are each two-time All-Americans at their weight, while Dusty Hone was recognized as an honorable mention All-AmeriÂcan by the NWCA in 2020. The NCAA has granted fall and winter sport athletes an extra year of eligibility in 2021-22, which would allow any of the five wrestlers to return to OSU next year if they desire. Senior manager Keenan Seymour will also be recognized for his dedication to the program over the past five years.
Â
Gallagher Award
Following the senior day ceremony, Ned Blass will be presented with this year's Gallagher Award. The award, given annually to an OSU alumnus who has exemplified the spirit and leadership emiÂnent in the tradition of champions, will be given to Blass following his successful career as a competitor and coach. A two-time national champion at OSU, Blass went 28-3-1 in his collegiate career. He was an alternate for the 1956 U.S. Olympic team before dedicating his life to coaching. He spent nearly 30 years in coaching with stops at Tulsa Central High School and California's Mt. Miguel and Valhalla high schools. He sent numerous wrestlers to big-time programs, such as Charlie White at Oklahoma and Cowboy legends, J RobinÂson and Roy Brewer.
