FARMER'S MARKET: Expo Pavilion in Tulsa turned into Desmon Farmer's place of business on Wednesday as the former Southern California guard equaled the third-best single-game scoring output in league history with 48 points in an overtime win over Albuquerque. He also threw in 11 rebounds and three steals for good measure.
WEST HOSTS SET: Tulsa's win over Albuquerque on Wednesday allowed Colorado to join Idaho as Western Division postseason host sites as either one or two seeds. The maximum games the T-Birds can now win is one less than the 14ers, and even if Los Angeles wins out and Colorado loses the rest of its games, the 14ers own a 6-0 series record against the D-Fenders that secures the higher seed.
HELPING HANDS: Both Idaho guard Randy Livingston and Tulsa guard Will Conroy have already shattered the league single-season assists record of 391 set by Kareem Reid of Arkansas last season. Livingston has 424 assists and Conroy has 415. Both have seven games left to play this season.
LOGGING TIME: By playing just five minutes Sunday at Los Angeles, Anaheim forward Jawad Williams will set a new league single-season record for minutes played. Williams has played 1,790 this season, just trailing Cory Alexander's mark of 1,794 set in 2002-03 with Roanoke. Williams' teammate Andre Owens and Arkansas guard Clay Tucker are also likely to pass Alexander's mark.
