One big upset in a non-MVC game- Northwestern, who just beat #1 ranked Purdue earlier this month, lost tonight at home to Chicago State
Chicago State 75 Northwestern 73 - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401581722

Chicago State is 4-9, and Northwestern drops to 7-2.
Btw, Northwestern has not played a true road game yet. They have played 7 of their first 9 games on their home floor, and the other two games on a neutral floor in the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic in Uncasville, Connecticut. - https://nusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule
