HISTORY
Case Gymnasium, otherwise known as "The Roof", has served as the home of Boston University basketball since 1972. It has an 1,800-seat capacity with theatre-sized chairback seats on both sides.

Appropriately, The Roof sits above Walter Brown Arena. Throughout its history, it has provided an intimidating home-court advantage.

The women's basketball program began play during the 1975-76 season, its first as a varsity program. In 2007-08, for the first time in program history, the Terriers went undefeated at Case Gym, winning all 11 contests. One year later, they went a perfect 16-0 in the America East and claimed their first-ever postseason victory with a 79-60 win over Central Connecticut State in the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). The 2012-13 squad also recorded notable accomplishments at The Roof with a 66-49 upset win over then No. 17/15 St. John's and WNIT First Round victory over Sacred Heart.

Since joining the Patriot League in 2013, the Terriers have hosted 13 Patriot League tournament games at Case Gym and have compiled a 10-3 record at home in those contests.

Having captured the 1997 and 2002 America East championships in Case Gym, the men have achieved tremendous success at The Roof. They claimed their first home postseason victory against Morehead State during the quarterfinals of the 2010 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) and used that experience to earn another America East title in 2011. During the 2019-20 season, the Terriers went 12-3 at The Roof en route to their first Patriot League tournament title.

The men’s program has compiled a 10-5 record in Patriot League tournament games at Case Gym.
