Episode Details

I sit down with WVCW Sports' Ben Rekosh to talk about VCU's trip to the NCAA Tournament, huge upset win over North Carolina in Greenville, Phil Martelli Jr.'s extension and the offseason ahead for the Rams. As a VCU and WVCW alum myself, it was awesome to see Ben and company spotlighted by Martelli in his postgame presser, and we talk about what it meant to the radio crew.

We cover a ton of ground in this episode -- first, Ben discusses Greenville, the lead-up to the Round of 64 game and VCU's incredible 19-point comeback over the Tar Heels, spearheaded by Terrence Hill Jr.'s 34 points. Ben and I then recount the second-round game against Illinois, where VCU hung with the Fighting Illini through halftime but faded late.

Then, we turn our attention to the offseason: Martelli's extension will keep him at the helm of the Rams as VCU tries to run it back in the 2026-27 season, while NIL deals could target players like Hill and Nyk Lewis. We talk about what we really liked from the team this past season and how they could get even better next year.
