The defending champions Ohio State trail the powerhouse Penn State Nittany Lions by 14.5 points heading into the semifinal round later Friday night.
Penn State, after relinquishing the title to the Buckeyes last year, had won four straight titles from 2011 to 2014.
Ohio State is the only school that's really in shouting distance of Penn State at the moment, as third-place Iowa is 20 points behind the leader.
Penn State will have five wrestlers going in semifinal matches, while Ohio State will roll out four. If the Buckeyes want any chance of repeating, they will need some big results Friday night. The semifinal round begins at 8 p.m. ET.
