One of our friends grew up next door to the NU public address announcer and he was invited at halftime to participate in their fan shooting contest. Our friend was at one basket wearing orange. At the other basket was an 8 year old in a Northwestern jersey.
Our friend lost to the 8 year old, much to the zealous joy of the entire crowd - Wildcat and Illini fans alike

I was on a college visits trip with my parents, and we hadn't planned on going so didn't have tickets. It worked out though for me to do a quick tour of the campus (which I hated), so we decided to try our luck at the ticket office.
We got a firm no that there absolutely no tickets available of any kind. My dad then told a bold faced lie that I was planning on attending Northwestern, and had my heart set on seeing a game, and managed to get the ticket guy to produce 3 prime seats out of thin air, for no charge.
