Mike Rhoades connects with fans in radio show
Are you constantly seeking insider information about the Rice men's basketball team? You're in luck, because head coach Mike Rhoades’ radio show is back on the air.
The second season of the Mike Rhoades Radio Show premiered on Jan. 4. The show broadcasts live from the Gorgeous Gael, an Irish bar in Rice Village, Monday nights at 7 p.m. Interested fans can watch the show at the Gorgeous Gael (5555 Morningside Drive) or tune in online at Yahoo Sports Radio 1560 AM or RiceOwls.com.
in March 2014, Rhoades left his Associate Coach position at Virginia Commonwealth University to serve as Rice’s head coach. During his five seasons at VCU, Rhoades helped the Rams make four NCAA Tournament appearances.
Despite a losing record (12-20) last season, Rhoades has made significant contributions to the men’s team. To help rebuild the Owls, Rhoades has worked towards signing the best possible recruits, like freshman guard Marcus Evans, and improving the team’s morale.
This season, Rice’s losing record (6-12) leaves much to be desired. Rhoades, however, said that he is confident in his team’s progress.
“I don’t care about our record right now,” Rhoades said. “All I care about is that we’re moving forward, and we’re not beating ourselves.”
On the show, Rhoades discusses developments in men’s basketball and analyzes recent games. The show will run through the Conference USA season.
