Cowboy Wrestling to Host Seven Duals In 2024-25 Season
October 03, 2024 | Cowboy Wrestling
STILLWATER – Head coach David Taylor and the Oklahoma State wrestling program revealed the home schedule for the 2024-25 season Thursday, which features seven duals inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cowboys again play host to one of the most exciting home slates in the country, as six of their seven visitors held a spot in the top 25 of InterMat's preseason rankings. That group also includes four top 11 finishers from the 2024 NCAA Championships and is made up of five Big 12 opponents and a pair from the ACC.
Last season, Gallagher-Iba Arena saw Oklahoma State win eight of its nine contests inside the venue, highlighted by a 21-12 victory over fourth-ranked Iowa State and a 24th straight home win in the Bedlam Rivalry Series.
Taylor will make his Gallagher-Iba Arena debut against Wyoming on November 22. A familiar opponent, OSU has wrestled Wyoming in 15 of the past 16 seasons and is undefeated in the all-time series at 27-0-1. In addition, the Cowboys will be looking to extend their winning streak in home openers to 25.
Just two days later, Big 12 newcomer Arizona State will make its way to Stillwater for the second year in a row. Oklahoma State owns wins in 40 of the 44 all-time matchups, while Troy Spratley's major decision over 2024 NCAA champion Richard Figueroa sparked the team's victory last season.
Throughout late December and early January, the Cowboys can get comfortable in Gallagher-Iba Arena as they host four more duals within a month.
The first of that stretch comes on December 19 against Virginia Tech, the highest-ranked team on OSU's home schedule at No. 6. The 2011 Hokies downed Oklahoma State in the programs' only meeting, but a win by the Cowboys this time around would give them a .500 record or better against every opponent they've faced since the program's inaugural season in 1915.
Shortly after the turn of the calendar, OSU will open 2025 against Air Force on January 3, marking just the Falcons' second trip to Stillwater. The month of January also features top 25 battles against No. 7 NC State and No. 16 West Virginia, who both fell to the Cowboys last season.
Oklahoma State's home finale will come against Big 12 rival Missouri on February 2. Two of the most successful programs in the conference, last season's top five matchup in Columbia resulted in a 24-10 victory for the Cowboys, while the two meetings prior were each decided by a single point. In all, OSU holds a 46-8-1 advantage in the series.
