2015 NCAA Selection Show on Sunday Commences NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship across ESPN Networks
First-Round Action on ESPNU Begins May 9 from Campus Sites
ESPNU will exclusively unveil the bracket during the hour-long 2015 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship Selection Show Presented by Northwestern Mutual on Sunday, May 3, at 9 p.m. ET. Host Anish Shroff, along with analysts Quint Kessenich and Paul Carcaterra, will provide breakdown of the field and tournament predictions, along with interviews with select head coaches and players.
During their college careers, Kessenich (Johns Hopkins) and Carcaterra (Syracuse) both played in four NCAA Championships and each won a national title with their respective teams.
A live phone interview is planned with NCAA Committee Chairman Heather Lyke, who will discuss the bracket and the process behind each team's berth. Live phone interviews are also planned with Denver's Bill Tierney, and Albany's Lyle Thompson, reigning Tewaaraton Award winner and the NCAA lacrosse all-time leading scorer.
The 16-team field, plus two play-in games (May 6), yields from 10 automatic and eight at-large bids.
