Minnesota’s Rachel Banham, just eight days removed from a 60-point performance, provided last-second heroics once again.

Banham scored 35 points as the Golden Gophers fought back from a 13-point deficit against Iowa. None were more important than the last 3, however, and she scored as time expired to give Minnesota a 78-76 win.
