Who will Hailey Van Lith and the TCU Horned Frogs face in the Elite Eight?

The TCU Horned Frogs will be playing on Monday but they don't yet know who they will be going up against at this time. They will be playing the winner of the game between No. 1-seeded Texas Longhorns and the No. 5-seeded Tennessee Volunteers in the Elite Eight and either one would create an interesting challenge.

TCU has not played either team during the season so this would be an intriguing battle but this is the first time that the Horned Frogs have made the Elite Eight. The three-headed scoring option of guard Hailey Van Lith (17.7 ppg), center Sedona Prince (17.5 ppg), and guard Madison Conner (14.6 ppg) has made going up against them a difficult task.

With every game in the NCAA Tournament potentially being the last time that we see Hailey Van Lith in college basketball, it will be a game that you need to be tuned in for.
