Passion, pageantry, and purity — this is NCAA basketball. Sega Sports, maker of the acclaimed NBA 2K series, hits the college hardwood in NCAA College Basketball 2K3. From tip-off at Midnight Madness to the net cutting in New Orleans, NCAA College Basketball 2K3 delivers the complete college hoops experience. Every Division I school is here and represented in true college fashion, complete with energetic cheerleaders, rabid student sections, and spirited bands swaying in the stands, all adding to the madness of college hoops. Take the reigns of your favorite Division I program and build a modern-day dynasty in Legacy Mode, as you recruit the best crop of young talent throughout the nation. Train your squad to run team-oriented motion offenses, overpower your opponents with high post plays and antagonize teams with aggressive full court presses. You call all the shots, from who’s going to redshirt to what kind of zone press your squad runs. Guide your team through an entire season -- tune-up in tough pre-season match-ups in preparation for heated conference play where every game counts. Weekly Top 25 and Rating Percentage Index (R.P.I.) rankings track your progress over the course of the season, including a bubble watch as tourney time draws near. Will you lead your team to the promised land in March and an invite to the Big Dance, or be left dateless come Selection Sunday?
