Buchanan Finishes Eighth at NCAA Championships

St. Louis, Mo. (March 20, 2021) – Stephen Buchanan capped off his incredible season and NCAA Tournament run with an eighth place finish Sunday morning inside the Enterprise center in St. Louis, Mo. Buchanan ends his season with a record of 14-6.
 
In the seventh-place match, Buchanan battled No. 15 Michael Beard (PSU). After falling behind early 4-0, Buchanan got his offense recording a pair of takedowns to trail 7-6 after two periods. Buchanan trailed 8-6 for a majority of the third period before scoring a takedown at the buzzer to send the match to overtime. In sudden victory, Beard's offense was too much for Buchanan and he conceded the match winning takedown. 
 
Buchanan's All-American finish highlights a record setting post season for the Cowboys which included four Big 12 runner-ups, a school record 105.5 team points at the Big 12 Championships and a program-record tying 7 NCAA Qualifiers.
