Oklahoma Head Coach Jack Spates

On wrestling against his son Justin, Missouri's starting 125 pounder
"It's a very awkward situation. It try to put aside the circumstances. The goal of our wrestlers in to score the most points for the team. I never had any doubts that Matt Ridings would perform his best. It was heartwrenching both ways. It's a lose-lose situation. The bottomline is this is a sport."

Oklahoma 125 Pounder Matt Ridings
"I just try to go out and wrestle hard. He (Coach Spates) was definitely behind me. It was a battle the whole time. I just come out on top."

Oklahoma Heavyweight Leonce Crump
"I wrestled well this morning, he (Oregon State's Jason Cooley) just knew how to wrestle me. That's what fired me up for tonight."
