Last week, Banks averaged 8.3 points per game while also pulling down 4.7 boards and going 11-of-12 at the free-throw line, making the all-tournament team at the 18th Annual Dead River Company Classic.  Her best outing during the three-game stretch came in Saturday's 66-55 victory over Maine in the consolation game of the Dead River Company Classic.  Against the Black Bears, Banks recorded 13 points and five rebounds, while also recording three steals.  The Little Rock, Ark. native helped USA jump out to an early 10-point advantage with a pair of three-pointers in the opening minutes.  The senior point guard was also solid down the stretch as she hit five of her six opportunities at the charity stripe in the final two minutes to help the Lady Jags hold off Maine.
