It happened, it really happened. Northwestern (17-15, 4-14 B1G) upset Minnesota (19-11, 11-7) 84-74 in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Unlike Northwestern's matchup with Wisconsin on Wednesday, both teams came out shooting hot. Rachel Banham hit a pull up three to score Minnesota's first points and Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah had a quick four points for Northwestern. Five minutes into the game and both teams were shooting 50 percent from the field, but Northwestern had done a great job of limiting Banham to only 3 points.
Then in the next five minutes Minnesota dropped off while Northwestern continued to hit from deep.
