Opening the NCAA Championship Tournament, the Tigers were represented in all ten weight classes.

Starting the second day of the NCAA Championship, Mizzou was sitting in a good position to make some noise. The first whistle blew and everything was a roller coaster from there. Beginning at 125, we will work through each wrestler and look at how they fared on the second day of the Championships.
