STrib: 'Horse' competition between ex-Gophers stars Rachel Banham and Andre Hollins helps Be the Match

[BleedGopher]

per Marcus:

A friendly game of "horse" between two of the best guards in Gophers basketball history became the perfect way to raise awareness for a great cause this week.

Minnesota Lynx guard Rachel Banham and Andre Hollins combined for more than 600 three-pointers at the University of Minnesota during their career. And on Tuesday, they were launching shots from distance for Minnesota's nonprofit organization of Be the Match, the global leader in bone marrow transplants.

On Cinco de Mayo, Banham edged out Hollins in their horse game with a one-legged jumper from beyond the arc.

You can bet there will be a couple’s rematch soon.

I wonder who won that night? Boom-chicka-boom-boom

No social distancing needed in that competition.

Banham said that she found an outdoor hoop near their apartment so they both have been practicing outside. Injuries have slowed her WNBA career and I was looking forward to her playing for the Lynx.
