Nebraska Hosts Missouri for Alumni Night

The Husker wrestling squad will look to build on its recent momentum this Saturday against Missouri as Nebraska (10-2, 1-0 Big 12) hosts the Tigers (7-2-1, 0-0-1 Big 12) at 7 p.m. in the NU Coliseum. After a historic 22-13 win over No. 2 Oklahoma State on Jan. 20, the Huskers have moved up to No. 2 in the national polls heading into the heart of their Big 12 schedule. Nebraska celebrates Alumni Night against No. 11 Missouri as NU hopes to draw on some of that Husker tradition to top the Tigers.

In what has become an intense matchup, Saturday's dual will be the seventh consecutive meeting with both teams ranked in the top 20 in the nation. Nebraska will look to avenge a 31-11 loss in Columbia last season against a talented Missouri squad. The Tigers notched six-straight dual wins to start the season, but had a disappointing 1-2 performance at the National Duals. MU rebounded to tie No. 2 Oklahoma State, 16-16, in their Big 12 opener as the Tigers come to Lincoln with a 7-2-1 overall record.

Husker fans can catch all the action on Nebraska Educational Television as Nebraska hits the airwaves. NET airs their first Husker dual of the season with Larry Punteney on the call and former Husker Tolly Thompson providing color commentary. Thompson was a three-time All American at NU and a national champion in 1995 at heavweight. Huskers.com will also provide free video with audio and live stats.
