Vegas Baby

With the growing conferences forcing dual schedules to start earlier with greater difficulty, the Cliff Keen Las Vegas has become the most difficult tournament in the regular NCAA Wrestling season. It's still December 2nd as the mats are rolled up after the tournament, so very early results should be taken as such. However, there's plenty of items to reflect on as the 2017-18 college season is really starting to take shape.
