STILLWATER — With yet another pin, Oklahoma State’s Nick Piccininni brought the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd to a frenzied level.
Yet such things have become expected of the Cowboys’ 125-pound wrestling standout.
What happened before and after Piccininni’s pin were bigger reasons for Oklahoma State’s 27-8 Bedlam wrestling victory on Sunday afternoon.
OU pulled off a couple wins in toss-up matches between ranked opponents in two of the first three bouts of the dual, which began at 174 pounds.
Heavyweight has been a class of concern for the Cowboys this season, but Austin Harris came through with a 13-5 major decision to give Oklahoma State a lead it would never relinquish.
