One can only assume the UH-Hilo senior guard would have gone for 50 if he had one more game to play.

As it was, Farris ended his career with 47 points, a Vulcans single-game scoring record, Saturday at Dominican. On Feb. 21 at Holy Names, he scored 39 points, which turned out to be short-lived career-high.

In all, Farris – a second-time honoree in this space – reached 30 points five times this season, was responsible three of the PacWest’s top 10 best scoring games and his 23.3 points-per-game average set a school record.

Can’t we give him one more game to reach 50?
