: {{note|A|A.}}Due to a scoring error during the Notre Dame game in 1936, a game which was originally ruled a 21–20 win for Notre Dame was determined to be a tie when it was discovered Notre Dame had received one more point than they had actually scored.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n0_SdLysv9wC&q=northwestern+basketball+tie+dutch+lonborg&pg=PT63|title=Basketball For Dummies|last=Phelps|first=Richard|date=2011-09-19|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=9781118092675|language=en}} Notre Dame returned to the court to finish the game, but Northwestern refused to return to the court. The Wildcats left the building and the game was deemed a tie.
