Notebook: Harris headaches, in-flight frights and NBA connections

BOSTON — West Virginia’s Wes Harris described coping this week with an “endless headache that comes and goes,” but he appeared fine as his team prepared for its Sweet 16 game against Villanova.

Four days removed from a head-to-head collision that knocked him out of the second-round win over Marshall, Harris was cleared to participate in the Thursday morning practice at TD Garden.

The agile, 6-foot-8 sophomore averages only 5.5 points per game but could be crucial to contesting Villanova’s array of shooters.

“His size and length bother people, particularly bothers perimeter people,” Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said.
