Hauben’s outburst enabled the Yellowjackets (8-0 University Athletic Association, 19-0 overall) to turn a 22-21 halftime deficit into a 32-25 lead.
The Yellowjacket defense held Chicago to one field goal and one free throw in the first 5:26 of the period. The Maroons (3-5 UAA, 7-12 overall), who shot 43% from the floor in the first half, made 29% in the second half (7 of 24).
In the first half, the Maroons led by five early, but a mid-period flurry by the Yellowjackets put Rochester ahead by six, 15-9, with just under 10 minutes left.
Chicago closed the first half with an 8-2 run over the last 3:38. Scott Fisher scored four of the eight points. His jumper with 11 seconds left gave Chicago a 22-21 lead at the break.
Andy Larkin scored nine points and grabbed eight rebounds for Rochester. Hauben had seven boards. Makedo Wisseh scored eight points. Gabe Perez finished with six points and eight assists. Rochester out-rebounded Chicago, 36-26, 13-8 off the offensive glass.
Fisher scored a game-high 20 points for Chicago. Justin Waldie had six points for the Maroons.
Rochester maintained a two-game lead in the UAA standings over Washington (6-2) and a three-game lead over NYU (5-3). The Yellowjackets play Washington in St. Louis on Sunday and go to NYU next Sunday.
