The game has almost every Division I men's college teams and sports a fair amount of women's squads as well. The game also features the Touch Shooting Meter, so players will have even more control over their jump shots. Quinn Buckner handles the announcing duties and the sound really manages to capture that college game feel. If you get tired of playing the computer you can always take on a friend in the versus mode and take him to school.

Reception

The PlayStation version received "mixed" reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Rob Smolka of NextGen said of the latter console version, "Oh well, there's always next year (or the year after that, or the year after that...)." Tokyo Drifter of GamePro said that the same console version was "far from being a completely horrible game of hoops, but for $10 less, you can do much better with NCAA March Madness 2001 for the original PlayStation."
