Northwestern’s men’s and women’s basketball teams played two games this weekend for the Big Ten Conference. Both the men’s basketball (9-10, 2-8 Big Ten) team and women’s basketball (11-7, 3-5 Big Ten) fell just a few points behind their opponents, with the women’s basketball game going into overtime.
