CMU PREVIEW:
-Indiana and Central Michigan will wrestle for the third season in a row on Friday (Dec. 4) at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
-Indiana won last year 17-16 on critera in Mount Pleasant, Mich. and 25-15 in Bloomington in 2023. Prior to then, the two programs hadn't met since 1997. Indiana leads the all-time series, 14-3.
-Central Michigan is 0-0 on the season. The Chippewas have not competed in a dual yet, but previously competed in the Michigan State Open and the Keystone Classic.
-Central Michigan has two ranked wrestlers in No. 30 Jimmy Nugent (149) and No. 28 Mason Shrader (157).
-The dual will take place in Simon Skjodt Assemby Hall. The Hoosiers have wrestled at least once in the historic building three out of the last four seasons.
-The last match there was a 27-15 Indiana win over Rider on Nov. 10, 2023.
RANKINGS REFRESH:
-Across the latest national rankings, Indiana has seven Hoosier wrestlers ranked in the top-33 at their weight class.
-This matches the most ranked wrestlers Indiana had at any point in last season's campaign, too.
-Indiana's ranked wrestlers include No. 12 Jacob Moran (125), No. 23 Henry Porter (141), No. 31 Bryce Lowery (157), No. 23 Tyler Lillard (165), No. 31 Derek Gilcher (174), No. 14 Sam Goin (184) and No. 12 Gabe Sollars (197).

-As a team, Indiana ranks No. 26 with the best dual lineup according to InterMat.
HIGH-LEVEL NON-CON:
-The Big Ten Conference always provides high level competition in Indiana's dual schedule, but the Hoosiers have their toughest non-conference dual schedule in years on deck.
-In addition to matches against Lock Haven, Columbia and Central Michigan, Indiana will face three ranked opponents in the non-conference slate.
-As it currently stands in the latest InterMat rankings, Indiana traveled to No. 15 Oklahoma (Nov. 23) and will travel to No. 22 Little Rock (Dec. 7) and host No. 24 Army (Dec. 13).
-As a result to the stronger dual schedule, Indiana will wrestle in fewer tournaments on their main schedule.
