Hailey Van Lith has completely shut up all her haters. How a player is utilized and the system they are playing in makes all the difference in their production. TCU is better because HVL showed up with a chip on her shoulder to prove she is who she thought she was. A BALLER!

Let me ask y'all something, is Hailey Van Lith having the best individual season ever for a Horned Frog basketball player, male or female?

Big 12 Player of the Year
Single season assist record holder
Single season scoring record holder.
Led TCU to Big 12 titles and the Elite 8.
