Coaches at the Big 12 Wrestling Championships met earlier today to establish seeds for the meet. A press conference and luncheon was held following the seeding meeting, where Iowa State coach Bobby Douglas announced that Jacob Moore, who was scheduled to wrestle at 125 pounds, would not wrestle as a result of an injury. Moore was set to wrestle Missouri's Justin Spates in a Pigtail match this evening. As a result of the default Spates advances to the semifinals and will face #1 seed Matt Ridings from Oklahoma. Pigtail round matches are set to begin this evening at 6 p.m. Central, followed immediately by the semifinal round. TheMat.com will post updated results throughout the tournament. 125 1.
