The Missouri Wrestling Tigers are in St. Louis today through Saturday for this year's 2021 NCAA Tournament. Action gets underway at 10 a.m. Central Time and all the mats are being streamed via ESPN. All of Missouri's first round of action will be on Mat 3. Tigerstyle has 10 wrestlers for each of the 10 weight classes, something only two other schools, Iowa and Lehigh, were able to muster. Each weight class will field 33 wrestlers and despite not having a dominant wrestler on the squad, aside from #3 Brock Mauller (149), nearly all of Tigerstyle has received varying degrees of All American buzz (i.e., finishing in the top 8) with the exception of Noah Surtin (125), the true freshman and understudy to Connor Brown who was injured just before the MAC Tournament. Coach Smith has said throughout the season that he likes this team and with obvious good reason.
