2014 CTC: The Summit League (FINAL)
This was a very encouraging season in a very underrated league. North Dakota State is a nationally-relevant team, even if people don’t know it yet. South Dakota State has most of their nationally-relevant team back (except for Nate Wolters, of … Continue reading
2014 CTC: The NEC (FINAL)
It was a new feel in the NEC this year because the juggernaut that had been the LIU Blackbirds had been broken up by injuries, graduation, and arrests and there was a power vacuum just waiting to be filled. What … Continue reading
2014 CTC: The Horizon League (FINAL)
Butler leaving two years ago took some steam out of the ascending Horizon League, but what is left is still a pretty solid mid-major league. There are no real at-large teams in the league this year (though if Green Bay … Continue reading
2014 CTC Day Eight: Colton Dominates the Day to Take the Overall Lead
A HUGE day for Colton – winning the day by more than 50 points over 2nd-place RDoc – has catapuled him from 7th at the start of the day all the way to the top of the leaderboard entering Day Nine. Bry … Continue reading

The days of Steph Curry are over, yet people, for some reason, still think this is a mid-major conference. It is not. It is not close. This is low-major basketball, and this might be the season that most exemplifies that. … Continue reading
2014 CTC Day Seven: Caleb Booms to Win the Boom or Bust Sunday; Bry Jumps Back up into the Overall Lead
A huge day for Caleb, as he had 20 more points than anyone else on the day and almost 2.5 times more than last-place on the day. Along with Caleb, Becks and Bry were the only other two to hit … Continue reading
2014 CTC: The Missouri Valley (FINAL)
Ahhh, Arch Madness!!! Gotta love it! Even without Creighton, this conference – and this conference tournament – is one of the jewels of college basketball. There was extra attention on this league all year (most of it unfairly negative) because … Continue reading
2014 CTC: The Atlantic Sun (FINAL)
After Dunk City put this league on the map last March, the 2014 season was highly anticipated. However, it’s unlikely that the A-Sun will be able to use the momentum because, well, the league just isn’t that good. Oh, and … Continue reading
