Carlie Wagner predicts that Rachel Banham will break the 40-point mark Friday in her first game back with the Gophers women's basketball team since last December.
That's not that far-fetched; the senior guard's career high is 39 points.
"I think she's just going to rip and roar," said Wagner, the University of Minnesota sophomore guard. "I think she's ready to go. She's hungry to play basketball again. I'm not going to be surprised if she scores 45 points in the first game. We call her Kobe Banham, the Maroon Mamba. I don't think she missed a shot the other day in practice.
