PROVIDENCE, R.I. – With so many captivating performances across the country, campaigning for espnW’s player of the week is not an easy task. The list of contenders include a quadruple-double performance, one of five players to post multiple 30-points, 20-rebound games, double figure scoring and comeback wins.
Houston was down 12 points after the first quarter and 17 at halftime at Tulane Saturday afternoon. Harris and her teammates climbed out of a 21-point deficit with just 18 minutes remaining in regulation to erase one of the biggest second half comebacks in NCAA Division I history.
Harris had seven points and had missed her last five field goals as the Cougars stared down a 48-27 deficit. However, she would score 27 points in the second half and overtime of a 98-92 win. Harris finished the game with 34 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, including 27 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the final 23 minutes of action.
Entering the season, only nine Division I teams had rallied from deficits of more than 21 points in the second half. Thanks in no small part to the biggest second half performances from Harris, there is a new addition to the list.
