Some nice (and rare) publicity for a Houston Cougars team that is the pleasant surprise of the AAC, much as UCF was last year. Houston had a massive comeback win in overtime against Tulane on Sunday, and Jasmyne Harris led the comeback:
Houston's Harris is espnW's player of the week

Houston was behind by 12 points after the first quarter and 17 points at halftime at Tulane on Saturday. And with a little over eight minutes to play in the third quarter in New Orleans, the Cougars stared down a 48-27 deficit.
Harris had seven points and five missed field goals at that stage. She would miss another five shots but only in the course of scoring 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 those 27 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the final 23 minutes. Her 3-pointer pulled Houston level with seven minutes to play in regulation, and her 3 gave Houston the lead barely 30 seconds later. And her free throws put the Cougars ahead for good in overtime.
Entering this season, only nine Division I teams had rallied from deficits of more than 21 points in the second half (although Houston was denied a program-record comeback because it was one of those nine after it rallied from a 26-point deficit against Lamar in 2008).
Thanks in no small part to the biggest of second half performances from Harris, there is a new addition to the list.
