The Ft. Worth, Texas native scored 26 points in both wins along with 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 steals while shooting a rock-solid 62.5 percent from the field overall and 64.7 percent from the perimeter.

In the win at JBU, Farris tied his career-high with seven steals and then recorded four more thefts to spark the victory at USAO.
