A week night dual and the most competitive NCAA tournament of the regular season are LIVE this week on Flo.  Cleveland State heads to #5 Edinboro this Thursday, and 3 of the top 5 teams compete at this weekend's Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational.  The dual features some of Flowrestling's usual suspects —Edinboro's murderers row of Schopp, Port & Habat — while the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invite shows NINE of the top 20 pound for pound wrestlers and NINE of the top 20 teams in the country.

It's going to be a tough night in Edinboro for the Cleveland State Vikings.  They'll bring in two studs, #19 Ben Willeford and #14 Riley Shaw, who are both favored to win their Thursday night match ups, but Edinboro's murderers row and salty upper weight line up should put this dual out of reach by the time #12 Vic Avery takes the mat.

The only regular season tournament that really compares to this weekend's CK Las Vegas Invite is the Southern Scuffle.  The Scuffle boasts #4 Cornell, #6 Mizzou, #7 Penn State, #9 Oklahoma State and handful of other ranked teams, while the CK Las Vegas Invite features #1 Minnesota, #3 Ohio State, #4 Cornell, #8 Virginia Tech and so many more.  Every weight class will be super competitive, but some stand out more than others, especially 125lbs.  At that weight we'll see 11 of the top 20 wrestlers going head-to-head in the same bracket: #1 Garrett (Cornell), #4 Dance (VTech) , #6 Peters (UNI), #7 Terao (American), #8 Martinez (AFA), #10 Lambert (NU), #11 Tomasello (tOSU), #14 Rodriguez (NDSU), #15 Brancale (Minny), #16 Petrov (Bucknell), #19 Zeke Moisey (WVU). We'll also get to see a pair of #1 vs #2 match ups: Ness vs Green at 157 and Storley vs Kokesh at 174lbs.
