Oklahoma @ Arizona State

Oklahoma beat Arizona State 32-6 in Tempe, Arizona on February 16, 2025, handing the Sun Devils a tough Big 12 dual loss. The margin reflected Oklahoma’s ability to convert matches into bonus points rather than a string of narrow decisions, and those bonus results were what decided the meet.

The decisive stretch came in the middle weights. At 165 pounds, Tate Picklo overwhelmed Austin Scott with a 19-4 technical fall, netting five team points and swinging momentum firmly toward Oklahoma. That was followed by three major decisions: Gaven Sax posted an 18-9 major over Joseph Manfredi, Deanthony Parker Jr. rolled to a 14-3 major against Shay Addison, and Eli Cordy closed the run with a 15-2 major over Jacob Meissner. Those four bonus-point victories accounted for 17 of Oklahoma’s 32 team points and put the dual well out of reach.

Arizona State managed to keep fights competitive outside of that stretch, but the Sun Devils could not match the bonus output from Oklahoma’s mid-to-upper weights. In a dual where bonus points made the difference, Oklahoma’s technical fall and string of majors were the clear turning point on the scoreboard.
