GRR: College Men
Sunday sees eight teams remaining in the NCR D2 playoffs facing each other to knock it all down to four.
Northern Iowa cruised past St. Louis University 78-5. This was perfectly in keeping with UNI's habit of winning by large margins this season.
Memphis pushed aside UW=Whitewater 49-17.
The Men's D2 games are Friday and we have their Round of 16 followed by the Round of 16 for the Small College teams on Saturday.
Then everyone plays their quarterfinals on Sunday. So by the end of the day we'll have final fours for each bracket (same, actually, with NCR D1 and D1AA).

Arkansas State of course moves up after a good win at Davenport.
