Nick Suriano-Nathan Tomasello anticipation grows; Iowa upends Oklahoma State | Big Ten wrestling notes

Nick Suriano and Nathan Tomasello won’t meet until the Big Ten Championships in March.

That leaves over a month of hype for the much-anticipated showdown, and Tomasello did his part to add to it Friday night. The nation’s No. 1-ranked 125-pounder dominated No. 4 Ethan Lizak in Ohio State’s 31-7 dual meet victory over Minnesota, rolling by technical fall, 18-3. A full box score from the dual meet can be found here.

Suriano, the No. 2-ranked 125-pounder, will see Lizak on Feb. 9 when Rutgers hosts the Golden Gophers. Neither Suriano or Tomasello will see No.
