It’s been five years since the Missouri wrestling team wrestled and head coach Brian Smith coached against former Big 12 foe, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
The Tigers were ranked 7th in the nation at the time, one slot below their current ranking of 6th. The Cornhuskers, however, led by four-time world champion Jordan Burroughs, would go on to upset Mizzou that day. The Cornhuskers would leave Columbia and the Big 12 Conference with bragging rights as they would join the Big 10 Conference the following year.
Last Sunday, Missouri was defeated for only the second time this season.
