NORMAN – The No. 7 University of Oklahoma wrestling team travels to Columbia, Mo., this Satuday, Jan. 30, for a dual with No. 5 Missouri. The contest, slated for a 2:30 p.m. CT start, will be held in the Hearnes Center.

The Sooners have tallied four consecutive dual victories, including two over ranked opponents and three over Big 12 conference foes. OU is coming off a 28-9 win against then-No. 16 Iowa State last Friday in Norman. Three of Oklahoma's seven wins in the contest were bonus-point victories, with wins by fall by Davion Jeffries at 149 pounds and Ross Larson at heavyweight. Jeffries' pin came over then-No. 20 ranked Gabe Moreno.

The dual between the Sooners and the Tigers will be streamed live on the Mizzou Network and live stats and results can be found on TrackWrestling.com.
