Playing on the road for the final time this season, the Case Western Reserve University men's basketball team picked up its biggest win of the campaign, defeating the sixth-ranked University of Rochester Yellowjackets 76-72 in Rochester, New York on Sunday afternoon.
The win was the third in the last four games for the Spartans, who improved to 8-16 overall and 3-10 in the University Athletic Association. The win by CWRU also put an end to the Yellowjackets' bid for the 2017 UAA Championship, as the loss sent Rochester to 21-3 overall and to 10-3 in the UAA, two games behind conference champions Washington with one game remaining on the schedule.
