That's senior guard Rachel Banham, who caught fire on Sunday by dropping 60 -- yes, 60 -- on Northwestern in the Gophers' 112-106 win in two overtimes.
Banham's performance tied the women's D-I NCAA record for points in a game (Long Beach State's Cindy Brown also scored 60 in 1987), making for one epic stats sheet:

The day obviously called for a reenactment of Wilt Chamberlain's iconic photo upon posting a record 100 points vs. the New York Knicks in 1962.

Banham is just 47 points shy of the school record (2,285 points). After Sunday's performance, here's betting she makes that mark fall in the next two games.
