North Central will try to succeed where Wheaton failed — in Bloomington, Ill.

UW-Oshkosh and Bethel have been waiting for this day for quite some time, and St. Thomas has been waiting since Bethel knocked the Tommies out of the playoffs in last year’s national quarterfinals. North Central can’t afford another loss after dropping its opener at Redlands, and Illinois Wesleyan has already won its home game against Wheaton.

Those are the three centerpiece games, not to mention a bunch of other games we already mentioned in Triple Take and the Around the Nation podcast.
