=="Gallagher's House of Horrors"== {{More citations needed|date=December 2008}} The Pokes set a new wrestling attendance record in the first season after expansion, packing in 10,802 for [[Bedlam Series|Bedlam]] on February 18, 2001.<ref>{{cite web |title=Facilities|url=http://www.cowboywrestling.com/facilities.php|publisher=Oklahoma State University Department of Athletics|access-date=November 21, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071216114014/http://cowboywrestling.com/facilities.php|archive-date=December 16, 2007}}</ref> Previously, the largest crowd was estimated at 8,300. On February 19, 2017 the wrestling team set the All-Time Gallagher-Iba Arena Attendance Record when they hosted 14,059 spectators for their dual with Penn State. The dual's attendance broke a record set 10 years prior when the men's basketball team played Missouri in front of 14,044 fan. Since wrestling began in Gallagher-Iba Arena, the Cowboys have won 34 NCAA titles and have had 34 unbeaten and untied campaigns at home. One of their longest winning streaks ran with the arena's opening in 1939 and lasted until February 16, 1951. During that period, Oklahoma State won 37 straight home duals, including no ties. From the final dual of 1959 through the first five home duals of the 1967 season, Oklahoma State wrestled 61 duals without a loss, finishing with an impressive 60β0β1 record before the streak was broken by [[Bedlam Series|Bedlam]] rival [[University of Oklahoma|Oklahoma]] 19β13. On February 3, 1939, Oklahoma A&M wrestled for the first time inside the arena, defeating [[Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana]] 18β6. On February 3, 1989, the Oklahoma State Cowboys hosted the Hoosiers in a celebration of the 50-year anniversary of the first Gallagher Hall dual. The Cowboys defeated the Hoosiers, 28β6, in the 1989 dual. OSU's latest home winning streak of 50 consecutive duals was the second-longest such streak without a loss or tie (it began near the end of the 1986 season). That streak came to an end on January 30, 1993, when [[Pennsylvania State University|Penn State]] handed the Pokes a sound 38β7 defeat, Oklahoma State's worst loss ever on its home mat. In only five seasons have OSU teams lost more than one home dual during the season, including the 1992β93 season when OSU finished below .500 for the first time ever in Gallagher-Iba Arena. In contrast, six Cowboy teams have won at least 10 home duals during a single season.
