CutTheNets: College Basketball

Rewrite college basketball history. Claim any team from 82 seasons, back to 1944. Swap in anyone from 20,000+ real players, coach every game live, and cut the net down yourself. A new bracket every day. Plays offline, on iPhone and iPad. HOW A RUN WORKS • Pick any season and claim any team in its real field, or create your own program. • Rewrite it: swap anyone from history into any spot before tip-off. No budget, and a superteam is allowed. • Want a tighter test? The Budget challenge prices every swap by your seed: favorites shop small, underdogs get real money. • Play every game live or sim it. Every run is graded from S to D. • Win it all, then cut the net down yourself. A GAME THAT KNOWS WHO IS ON THE FLOOR • Every new bracket plays on a player-by-player engine: real rotations, fouls, fatigue and substitutions, with an exact box score. • Pick a style and a tempo before tip-off, then change either one at a timeout or at halftime. The engine reads every call. • After the buzzer: how the game was decided, the player of the game, Key Moments and cards to share. THE BROADCAST • A live court with shot marks, a lead tracker and running play-by-play. • Watch at 1× to 8×, jump to the next decision, or sim to the final. • An optional announcer that calls the big moments and works offline. EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK • A new daily bracket: the same field and the same fates for everyone. • A weekly gauntlet with three tries. • Three daily goals, a streak you protect by playing, and a weekly ladder with banners to collect. • A Game Center leaderboard for your daily streak. MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Create a Full Roster: pick any year, take a team's spot and build nine from anyone in history, with no budget. A sandbox that counts toward nothing. • The Projected 2026–27 season: play next season before it tips off, with returning players named. • Program Journey: take one school through its tournament history, in order. • Matchup Lab: any two teams from any era. Edit both rosters, then play one exhibition or a batch of sims with win rates. • 119 missions built from real tournament moments, in eight packs, with filters to find your next one. • Browse every tournament's real results and start a run from any season since 1944.
