TCU star guard Hailey Van Lith confirmed on Sunday that her left leg is a half-inch shorter than her right and explained how it affects her game.
The TCU women's basketball team and Hailey Van Lith knocked off Notre Dame to reach the Elite Eight. Here's highlights and stats from the matchup.
According to Wesley Branch of USA TODAY, her left leg is half an inch shorter than her right. In fact, it's harder for Van Lith to drive to one side over the other because the right side of her body (including her hand, foot and quad muscle) is stronger.
Hailey Van Lith led Louisville to a second-round win over Texas in the NCAA Tournament. Texas gets another crack at her on Monday.
After a performance like it’s fair to ask is Van Lith having the best individual season ever a TCU basketball player, male or female? Players like Kurt Thomas and Lee Nailon have strong cases, especially Thomas who led the NCAA in scoring and rebounding in 1994-95.
Texas bounced back from the SEC Tournament loss to take care of business in the NCAA Tournament. They rolled past William & Mary in the opening round, winning 105-61 led by star forward Madison Booker’s 20 points and 14 rebounds.
