I am a student at "The University of California Santa Barbara" otherwise known as Cal-Santa Barbara, or Santa Barbara, and I would like to see my team "The Gauchos" in next year's ESPN College Hoops.
I was frustrated to see that the Gauchos were not in 2K3, rather they were called something else, "SB Del Mar" or something along those lines. I would appreciate it if, next year I could be the "University of California Santa Barbara" Gauchos (UCSB).
Whatever problems or difficulties that may have arisen with the Big West or UCSB in getting my team on ESPN College Hoops, I would hope they could be taken care of since there are a lot of people in Santa Barbara wishing to be "The Gauchos"
I will reply to this message, with a picture of our current "Thunderdome" floor, so that it looks more authentic.
Also, some teams play their Conference Championship at other venues other than at home, I would like to see these arenas, maybe even more detailed. I.E. Big West Teams play at the Anaheim Convention Center. If during regular season they were to advance to their championship, I would like ESPN to research where these conferences play, and based on that be able to have Conference Championships at these places.
Thank You ESPN for hearing my Wish, and I hope to see UCSB in next year's game.

If you could please add our mascot for the mascot games it would be great. Our mascot is "The fantom of the dome", a play off the phantom of the opera.

Its really easy, just use a 6'4 player skinny player model with blond hair, put him in a ucsb jersey with jean shorts, then give him a cape, speedo goggles, and gloves.

This is an image that ESPN should be capitalizing on, the Thunderdome is incredible when 2,000 students or so are all in sync, cheering and yelling.
