Back when it was a driving game and that switching (ladder and main) opened up the outside shot! I’m with you on that!

Just bring back dead time.

100% back when holding a driver was actually called.

“What the gripers need to realize is the game they want to see is clearly not the game the NCAA wants THEIR game to be. I can absolutely confirm that if the NCAA had a problem with how the game was/is being called by THEIR officials, the officials would no longer be officiating. Period. So, naysaye...

Kirk is thoroughly destroying Adam coaching wise Wait I thought all Kirk did was throw the ball out and let the euros play? Interesting quote from Everist in the post-game. I am sure this is not verbatim, but he said something along the lines of It's interesting to coach a team full of players who ...

Perfect half for Cal. UCLA needs to adjust their defense and blanket papa and let Ponferrada beat them Cal's offense now seems strong enough that blanketing Papa just means someone else beats them. Someone earlier suggested Papa looked out of shape yesterday, and I thought so, too. Not looking like...

So could we see a Fab-5 (I guess in polo if would be a Super-7) style group of 5th year players decide they want to play together and all get together on one team? Might be a good gambit for an Eastern team to win. There are worse places to be 24 and D-1 athlete with a sexy foreign accent or a Cali ...

Never mind, I see the UCLA game is already over.

What stream are you watching? I'm getting a blank screen with a 5 pm eastern start time.

This does not matter, for either who's in the tournament or for seeding, but does anyone know why two of the automatic qualifies are winners of the Northeast Water Polo Conference and the Collegiate Water Polo Association? Why not list Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference? Is this just a historical ar...

As missed opportunities, Princeton's success this year and that OT win by Harvard over Princeton stand out.

I would not know about either except for this website.

My point was, only the “converted” are viewing that list, so make it accurate and relevant. Catering to casuals (which there are none) I think is the wrong play, make the “concerted” more invested which in turn will bring them to be more active and then their love for the sport (hopefully) becomes ...

Watch List: "Inclusivity and Equity"...it's a win-win for everyone! I don't mind PC USAWP trying to promote the game, this is simply a gentle slap-in-the-face to those who pay close attention to water polo..which, actually, isn't very many people. ;-) Precisely. We are not the intended au...

It's a PR strategy. It provides opportunities for press releases from every college, high school and club these players have played for, which will go out to papers all over. The goal is to get some visibility for water polo in places it usually wouldn't get it. A list of all CA players would genera...

And here is the roster announced a few weeks ago.

No offense to Ausmus, but sorry to hear Maddie Musselman will not be able to play. "Undisclosed injury".
