The 2015 NBA D-League Showcase is upon us here in Santa Cruz, CA.

Overtime with Jeff Thurn will be LIVE from Santa Cruz and the 2015 NBA D-League Showcase on Thursday Jan. 15th and Friday Jan. 16th from 3-6pm CT. It can be heard on ESPN 99.1 in the Sioux Falls, SD market, online at ESPN991.com and on the Radio Pup AP.

This years Showcase is a bit different from years past. Not only has the venue/city changed, the format has changed as well.

The previous format was more of a showcase enviornment, in which teams would play two games regardless of outcome. In 2015, it has changed some. All teams will play, but this year, it is a tournament format where a mid-season showcase champion will be crowned.

Furthermore, in its new location, Santa Cruz, CA, the NBA D-League is hoping for more fan involvement accompanied with more media coverage and NBA personnel attendance.
