With the loss, the 12^th -ranked Cowboys finish the season 42-19.

🔺 Call To The Hall. Some calls are just a little more special than others.

Two former OSU standouts got one of those special calls recently as Coleman Scott and Tadaaki Hatta were named inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame this past weekend.

Scott was a tremendous wrestler for the Cowboys from 2005-08, compiling a 120-24 record with 50 bonus-point wins. He became just the 13th four-time All-American in program history and eventually completed his incredible career with a 133-pound NCAA championship as a senior.

Hatta wrestled for Oklahoma State from 1964-66 after arriving in the United States from Tokyo, Japan in 1961. He put together a 36-8 career record as a Cowboy, highlighted by a junior season that included a perfect 12-0 record and an NCAA championship at 115 pounds.

Together, Scott and Hatta improve Oklahoma State's nation-leading total of alumni named Distinguished Members to 38, in addition to former head coach Joe Seay, a 1998 Distinguished Member, and 2018 Outstanding American honoree Randy Couture.
