After completing the largest comeback in first-round March Madness history, VCU head coach Phil Martelli Jr. praised student journalists for their relentless coverage.

Martelli highlighted the dedication of WVCW Sports director Ben Rekosh and his team, noting they traveled through snow to cover the game. "They are the best in the country," he said.

VCU's Terrence Hill Jr. scored 34 points, including the game-winning three-pointer, to lead the Rams to a historic victory over UNC.
