Madison, Wis. - Indiana wrestling still has its upsets, ready to put them to good use in the second session of wrestling at the University of Wisconsin Field House in Madison, Wis., at the Big Ten Conference Championships today.

At 141 pounds, Cooper is the number one seed and drew a bye out of the first round and then defeated Illinois' Cal Ferry by major decision, 11-1. Matthews followed up Cooper's performance by defeating Purdue's Ben Wissel, 3-2.
The first session opened with149-pound, Anacortes, Wash., native Matt Cooper as 125-pound Joe Dubuque is sidelined with a concussion and 133-pound Greg Schaefer and 141-pound Coyte Cooper drew byes out of the first round. Matt Cooper could not start things out on a winning note, falling to Michigan's fourth-seeded Ryan Churella in 1:24. Isaac Knable could not get things rolling for IU either as he lost a decision, 19-10, to Iowa's Joe Johnston. At 165 pounds, Alex LaPointe lost to third-seeded Jacob Volkmann of Minnesota, 10-0 in the first round of wrestling.
