When talking about Mizzou and NCAA wrestling, the discussion of whether they have the what it takes to make a title run or top-three finish comes to question. Dating back a decade, since 2012, Mizzou has finished inside the top five at the NCAAs just two times, fourth in 2015 and fifth in 2017.
Over those past ten years, with the exception of 2020 (Covid year), the average team score taking home the title at the NCAA Championship was 128.6. The highest total in that span came in 2017 when Penn State finished with 146.5, running away with the title and topping the next best team (Ohio State) by 36.
