KENT, Ohio (AP) -- Kent State will have a chance to take down No. 1 Oklahoma State in wrestling.

The Golden Flashes will host the undefeated Cowboys on Saturday as part of the NWCA National Duals. On Sunday, Wisconsin will battle Northern Iowa (8-4) with the winners then meeting to advance to an eight-team championship dual tournament at Minnesota on Feb. 22-23.

This is the first time Kent State has hosted a top-ranked team in any sport since 2006, when Wake Forest's field hockey team came to Ohio.
