October 14, 20195 yr Big win that was even more lopsided than the score indicated. When CWRU scored at the start of the 4th quarter to make it 35-7, the total yards were something like 480-150 before they brought in the second string quarterback and played a soft defense. The only real challenge remaining on the schedule is CMU, but after watching them struggle against Waynesburg Saturday night, I'm not sure how good they really are. They always play CWRU tough, though.

March 4, 20223 yr ^ CWRU is now dancing in the NCAA DIII playoffs...first time in school history. From Terry Pluto: On to Oshkosh! Record-setting Case Western Reserve team still has tests to pass – Terry Pluto Updated: Mar. 03, 2022, 8:47 p.m. | Published: Mar. 03, 2022, 5:46 a.m. CLEVELAND, Ohio – The best mens basketball team in the history of Case Western Reserve University is making the 518-mile bus trip to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in its own way. The reason CWRU is in the road to Oshkosh is the Spartans made the Division III NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. The 18 victories also are a school record. In their final practice at CWRU before getting on the bus, Cole Frilling was 45 minutes late. Not his fault. The 17-point scorer (7.0 rebounds) had a lab for his aerospace major. “That happens a lot,” said McGuinness. “Guys have labs, or a course that they can only take at a certain time. You make allowances. I tell people that if that bothers you as a coach, then you shouldn’t coach at Case.” The 6-foot-6 Frilling drilled five shots from 3-point range and scored 23 points to help the Spartans to a 92-83 victory over Carnegie-Mellon in the final game of the season – setting up their at-large berth to the NCAA tournament. https://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/2022/03/on-to-oshkosh-record-setting-case-western-reserve-team-still-has-tests-to-pass-terry-pluto.html
