When Gophers women's basketball players took the court for warmups last season, they wore T-shirts supporting Rachel Banham.
The "Buckets for Banham" idea helped motivate Minnesota all the way to snapping the program's six-year NCAA tournament drought, but it wasn't close to the same as having her on the court.
Now Banham's back, and she aims to wreak havoc on the Big Ten.
The 2014-15 preseason Big Ten player of the year hasn't been slowed by the injury that ended her season last December, and she hopes her final college season ends in the NCAA tournament.
