Discuss “Tartan men’s basketball falls to Rochester 60–51”

The Carnegie Mellon men’s basketball team lost 60–51 to the University of Rochester Yellowjackets on Saturday in the University Athletic Association (UAA) opener for both teams. Rochester (5–1, 1–0) won the UAA title two years ago by defeating Carnegie Mellon (3–2, 0–1) on the final day of the regular season, but last year Carnegie Mellon returned the favor, winning that game to wrap up the UAA title and a trip to the national tournament.

Saturday’s game added to what is developing into a great rivalry between the two schools. Neither team could pull away through the first 32 minutes, with the game tied at halftime and three points being the biggest second-half lead for either team up to that point.
