Nebraska @ Arizona State

Nebraska Men's Wrestling knocked off Arizona State Men's Wrestling 26-9 in Tempe, Arizona on February 25, 2024. The Big Ten visitors left with a 17-point margin over the Big 12 Sun Devils, a gap that was shaped by one particularly dominant performance.

The defining bout came at 197 pounds, where Silas Allred of Nebraska overwhelmed Jacob Meissner of Arizona State, finishing 21-6 by technical fall. Allred piled up near-fall points and kept the attack rolling until the match was stopped at the tech fall threshold, delivering five bonus points to Nebraska’s total. That sequence stands out as the clearest swing in the dual.

Those bonus points loomed large in the final math. Nebraska’s 26 points included Allred’s five-team points for the technical fall, and Arizona State finished with nine. With the margin at 17, Allred’s bonus victory provided the separation the Cornhuskers needed to put the dual out of reach.

Nebraska’s win in Tempe was driven by that decisive bonus performance at 197 pounds, while Arizona State was unable to flip the momentum late. The technical fall by Allred was the night’s highlight and the primary factor in the final scoreline.
