Hailey Van Lith's college basketball career has included playing a fifth year at TCU. However, she says no one is going to make her feel bad about it.

Hailey Van Lith is the first player in the league’s 29-season history to be picked the top player and top newcomer in the same season.

After the game, former LSU star and current WNBA player Angel Reese sent a five-word message to Van Lith, who played all but one minute against Baylor and finished with 14 points, two rebounds, and two assists. "so proud of you sis!" Reese wrote in response to a photo of Van Lith holding the Big 12 trophy.
