Interview with
VCU Head Coach, Mike Rhoades
Question : Question for all three of you guys. What was the biggest thing that you guys improved on facing them last year against this year since Mason has came off, kind of a big star and you guys still lead them by at least?
Answer : Yeah, I mean, they're very good ball screen. So that was a huge emphasis like Cal said, you know, we don't have a list of 10 or 10 or 15 plays or no those ball swing defense and pressure ball and then guarding without guard your yard. guard the ball as best we can. And offensively It was really shooting the ball Don't hold the ball, Coach policies teams on defense, they're they're really good when they can load up on the ball and keep the ball in one place. We want to make sure you use them, move the ball and that's what else reversible big guys that can move around and control them and still be aggressive.
Answer : I think our disciplined was the key especially in ball screen coverage and we knew coming onto the game we need had to play with aggression

Was there anything individually or you guys think as a team that you did better today?
Answer : i would say our toughness towards the second half, found a way to grind out in the lead at a minimum so I feel like we fought We didn't have the outcome we wanted.
So we got to take it one game at a time and focus on our next opponent.
