Players can use the controls for executing passes, blocks, and steals with intuitive button mapping.

The game includes 64 teams, multiple play modes, and archival NCAA footage. [2]

Reception

Computer Gaming World said "If you crave college hoops, pick up Haffner's COURT-SIDE BASKETBALL for stat play, or GTE's NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL for action" [4]

Computer Games Magazine said "Sorry Final Four 97 – your scholarship has been revoked. You can try to come back next year as a walk-on, but you’ll face an uphill battle for a spot on this team" [3]
