Utah State’s Nate Harris (Smithfield, UT/Sky View HS) elevated his game in consecutive 20-point performances as the Aggies knocked around in-state rivals Utah and Brigham Young, netting the junior his fourth career Player of the Week award and first of the 2004-05 season.

Harris, a 6-7 forward, was virtually unstoppable from the floor, shooting an incredible 76.0 percent (19-of-25) for both games. He made 10-of-13 floor shots and 6-of-8 from the free throw line in USU’s 71-57 victory over Brigham Young on Wednesday. On Saturday, Harris connected on 9-of-12 from the field as the Aggies bombarded the Utes to the tune of a 26-point (71-45) victory.

The 2003-04 All-Big West First Team selection tied his career high with 26 points and added three rebounds, two blocks and three steals versus BYU. Against the Utes, he tallied 20 points with six rebounds and a blocked shot. For the week, Harris averaged 23.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals while playing 32 minutes in each contest.
