Throwback Weekend offers hoops and history
As a Case Western Reserve University student, we certainly hope you’ll show your Spartan pride—but don’t forget to root for the WRU Red Cats and the Case Rough Riders, too.
Case was created in 1967 by the merger of Western Reserve University and Case Institute of Technology, but traces its roots back to the 1826 founding of Western Reserve College, making Case both a young university and one of the oldest private colleges in the nation. Each February, the athletic department takes a step back in time for Throwback Weekend. Undergraduate students cheer on the men’s and women’s basketball teams, who don uniforms to mark the time when WRU, Mather College (WRU's women's college) and Case Tech held court—way before the first three-point shot was ever thrown.
This year's Throwback Weekend will be held February 15-17 in Case's historic Adelbert Gymnasium.
