March isn't just for basketball.

March Matness starts Thursday and wraps up a lot quicker than its basketball counterpart on Saturday night with the finals. This year's NCAA Wrestling Championships will be hosted at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

The Oklahoma Sooners qualified five wrestlers to compete, including Antonio Lorenzo (125), Mosha Schwartz (141), Willie McDougald (149), Gaven Sax (174) and DJ Parker (184). The Sooners haven't had a national champion since Cody Brewer's Cinderella run at 133 pounds in 2015.

OU hasn't won a team title since 1974, a streak that will continue this year with the Sooners sending only five wrestlers.
