WHO'S HOT: The Columbus Riverdragons and Huntsville Flight have both won four consecutive games.
WHO'S NOT: The Florida Flame and Fayetteville Patriots are both riding three-game losing skids.
SPEAKING ENGLISH: Florida guard Carl English is flourishing in his new Southwest Florida digs, averaging 37.0 minutes and 18.8 points per game, good enough for fourth in the league's scoring column. As a reserve for the Charleston Lowgators last season, the Newfoundland native averaged 19.1 minutes and 8.4 points.
WATCHING THE CLOCK: Should Fayetteville guard Omar Cook continue to average 41.4 minutes played over the Patriots next two games, he will pass Sedric Webber as the NBDL career leader in total minutes played. Cook has currently logged 3,516 NBDL minutes. Webber played 3,590 in parts of three NBDL seasons.
FREE ONES: Roanoke forward Terrence Shannon is four free throws made away from moving into second place on that all-time NBDL list. Shannon has made 361 NBDL free tosses and is closing in on Isaac Fontaine's 364. Sedric Webber is the record holder with 420.
