There was a great deal of enthusiasm for the women’s basketball community on Sunday. The Dallas Wings, who secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery—which probably implies they will be selecting UConn star Paige Bueckers—were the primary cause of this.
But that’s not all the excitement there was on Sunday, as many top-tier NCAA women’s basketball teams also had games.
One of these teams was the TCU Horned Frogs, who improved to 4-0 in the 2024-25 season after a hard-fought 76-73 win over the No. 13 ranked NC State Wolfpack
Hailey Van Lith, the top guard for TCU, had an outstanding game, scoring 18 points and dishing out 10 assists in the victory. After the game, she shared an emotional moment with her head coach that went viral on social media, but that was what truly grabbed attention.
A video of Van Lith breaking down in tears after discovering that Sunday’s victory was the first time in her NCAA career that she has recorded double-digit assists was shared by the TCU women’s basketball X account.
