UMKC men’s basketball will get plenty of television air time this season.

The school and KSMO-TV announced that 21 games, including all 14 home games, will air of KSMO-TV (Channel 62) or KMCI (Channel 38). Also, seven road games will be on one of those stations.

Neil Harwell will serve as the play-by-play announcer. He’ll be joined by analysts Joel Goldberg, who is part of the Royals’ broadcast team, or Michael Watson, the program’s career scoring leader.
