@IlliniWrestling at Reno Tournament of Champions
The Fighting Illini will compete in the Reno Tournament of Champions this Sunday, their first bracket-style competition of the season. The Champaign-Urbana grapplers enter the weekend with a perfect 8-0 record to start the season, an accomplishment last accomplished in 2004-2005 when they won the Big Ten Championship. No. 6 Oklahoma State headlines the list of opponents for the Illini, creating a field that will test the Orange and Blue as they prepare Midlands and the Big Ten. The Illini open Big Ten duals with the defending NCAA National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes at Huff Hall on January 3.
