- ^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.[4] 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.[4]
- ^B. Larry Glass left Northwestern after 18 games in 1969.[5] Brad Snyder coached the remaining six games.[5]
