Episode 108: Michael Belle Breaks Down Junior Season at VCU, Leadership Role with Rams & Making Threes

I sat down with Michael Belle, one of the longest-tenured VCU Rams men's basketball members, ahead of the team's final two home games of the 2025-26 season. The junior guard/forward is in his third season with the team and has found success from beyond the arc, making twice as many threes this year as his first two seasons combined.
Mike talked about the differences between Coach Odom and Coach Martelli's leadership styles and his own expanding role within the team, especially as a leader with all the turnover last offseason. He also talks about his path to VCU from England and France, where he played against opponents like Bronny James; going to the A-10, NIT and NCAA tournaments over the course of the past two years; and what he's worked on the most this season.
