Mizzou Head Coach Brian Smith
“I was really pleased with everyone’s effort this weekend. It took a real team effort, my staff put in a lot of hard work and time to get everybody prepared. We had to deal with a few things that were out of our control, but we tried to focus on what we could control, and everyone did a really good job managing what we were dealt. On the mat, we wrestled our best on the second day of the tournament, which is a big positive. We came out pushing the pace in matches and scored bonus points in numerous finals matches, which I was pleased with. I’m really excited to see what this team can do at the National Tournament. We’ll take care of logistics over the next few days, then we’ll get locked in for Cleveland. We’ll work on a few small things on the mat, but this team has been very consistent throughout the whole year, so we won’t be changing much of anything. We are going to have a lot of good seeds at Nationals, now it’s a matter of going out and executing on the big stage.”
