Sencire Harris - College Basketball News & Rumors

Logs seven points in first start Harris closed with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 89-62 victory over Lipscomb.

Impact Harris got his first start of the season after a ten-point performance last week, but he wasn't as impressive as probably hoped in the win over Lipscomb. Still, he didn't need to be a scoring machine with the Bearcats having no problem getting a win. It's unknown if the junior guard will stay in the starting lineup for a tough game this Saturday versus Houston.

Records new career-high Harris logged 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 73-55 win over TCU.

Impact Harris is far from the primary offensive focal point for West Virginia, but he's started all 28 games this season for the Mountaineers and showed Tuesday he's capable of a good shooting night when given the opportunity. The 6-4 guard offers little from distance, however, as he's just 6-for-49 (12.2 percent) from three-point land on the season.

Across-the-board contribution Harris notched 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 73-60 loss to Kansas State.

Impact Harris finished just one rebound shy of a double-double while sprinkling in a couple of assists and steals along with one rejection. The sophomore guard reached double figures for just the second time this season while the rebounding total matched a season high. Harris has started all 19 games this season, playing 27.78 minutes per game while averaging 5.9 points, 4.6 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks.

Largely empty minutes with WVU Harris provided seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 70-54 loss to Houston.

Impact Harris has locked down a starting spot since transferring from Illinois and has started every game this season for the Mountaineers, but as can happen in the college ranks, a starting role doesn't necessarily equate to fantasy production. His averages of 5.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists are all personal bests but not quite enough to crack the fantasy radar. The role is particularly unpalatable in rotisserie formats, as Harris is shooting just 35.4 percent from the field and 11.1 percent from distance.

Set to redshirt Harris will redshirt during the 2023-24 season, Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Harris participated in multiple preseason scrimmages with the Illini, but he did not appear in Illinois' season opener. Head coach Brad Underwood revealed after the game that Harris will redshirt this season. Underwood stressed that the move has been made for Harris' long-term development, emphasizing the young guard's skill, but also his need to put on necessary strength. Harris, who averaged 3.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals across 33 games during his freshman season (14.4 minutes per game), will look to come back stronger next season.

Logs 11 points off bench Harris closed Sunday's 76-71 loss to Purdue with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact Harris offered a nice number from the bench to push the best team in the conference to the finish. Still a reserve option, Harris has work to do in the coming seasons.
