NCAA Men\u2019s Water Polo Championships to be Broadcast on ESPNU, ESPN App<\/strong><\/p>\n

ESPN has announced plans to broadcast the NCAA Men\u2019s Water Polo Championships next month on ESPNU and the ESPN streaming app.<\/p>\n

The Division I title game will take place on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 6 p.m. ET at the Spieker Aquatics Complex in Berkeley, Calif. ESPNU will put the game on live national broadcast, with availability to stream internationally and watch on replay via the app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the next step for the relationship between the Worldwide Leader in Sports and water polo after it returned the NCAA Women\u2019s Championship to television in the spring for the first time in a decade<\/a>. Through the deal announced Thursday, ESPN will continue to air the men\u2019s and women\u2019s NCAA finals through the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n

USA Water Polo\u2019s Greg Mescall<\/strong> will handle the play-by-play announcing, with former Bucknell University and UC Santa Barbara coach John Abdou<\/strong> as the analyst.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs USA Water Polo did in May, we are proud to again collaborate with ESPN and the NCAA to broadcast the men\u2019s water polo championship live from Berkeley, California,\u201d USA Water Polo CEO Christopher Ramsey<\/strong> said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cWe are also excited to have a veteran play-by-play commentator and expert color commentator combo in Greg and John calling the game this year. With such a broad array of talented teams in the tournament, the championship will be one of the most competitive in years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the debut of the Women\u2019s Water Polo Championship on ESPN platforms this spring, we are thrilled to now showcase the world-class men\u2019s student-athletes as the Men\u2019s Water Polo Championship becomes the 31st and latest addition to our portfolio of NCAA Championship events,\u201d said Dan Margulis<\/strong>, ESPN senior director, programming and acquisitions.<\/p>\n

The NCAA Men\u2019s Water Polo Championship is one of 31 NCAA championships events on ESPN networks this academic year.<\/p>\n

The NCAA tournament field will feature seven teams from the five major conferences. It will be unveiled on Nov. 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a game-changer to have ESPN take on these exciting championship events,\u201d NCAA Men\u2019s Water Polo Committee Chair George Nelson<\/strong> said. \u201cWith the water polo landscape growing and additional conferences committing to the sport this new media spotlight will help transform programs to higher levels. It is exciting to see this collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
