Friday, November 27:

Oklahoma State at South Dakota State LIVE ON FLO 5:00 PM CT
141 - #2 Dean Heil will take on SDSU’s Seth Gross. Tough spot for the Freshman but he’s talented enough to make this a fun watch.
157 - #9 Cody Pack will potentially face Chance Marsteller. This will be the first we’ve seen of Chance since he won a wild one against Edwin Cooper of Iowa.

Saturday, November 28:

Missouri at Northern Iowa
125 - Sign me up for #14 Barlow McGhee v. #6 Dylan Peters! McGhee is coming off of a breakout performance at Joe Paris where he knocked off NCAA Finalist Zeke Moisey. Peters has been rock solid this year (and every year) and is a flat out pinner.
133 - #19 Josh Alber will take on Jaydin Clayton. Alber has made some real strides already and Clayton has looked the part despite being just a True Freshman.
165 - Potential revenge spot for #3 Cooper Moore against #14 Daniel Lewis. Lewis pinned Moore last year. Lewis is coming off of a loss to Dimitri Willis from last week.


Sunday, November 29:

125 - #18 Dalton Macri will take on #12 Tim Lambert. I mentioned this bout in my top 7 matchups article.
133 -#5 Nahshon Garrett will face Nebraska’s 9th ranked Eric Montoya. Cannot wait for this bout.
141 - Will we see Mark Grey here? If so he’ll be tested by Nebraska stud and 8th ranked Anthony Abidin.
174 - Micah Barnes will battle against Brian Realbuto. Realbuto was at 157 last year, Barnes was at 197. They meet at 74, wow.
