Clutch @rachelbanham15 not many players can side fade, let alone for a game winner #mambablood

Banham is the same player who tied the NCAA record with 60 points in a double-overtime win over Northwestern on Feb. 7.

With Minnesota trailing by one and less than three seconds remaining, Banham dribbled across half court from right to left into a screen at the top of the key.
