TCU Horned Frogs guard Hailey Van Lith is making the most of her fifth and final year of college basketball with her new program. Despite just being one year with the Horned Frogs, the dynamic scorer has paved the way for the program's first ever Elite Eight appearance in March Madness as they take on the top-seeded Texas Longhorns as the second seed on Monday, March 31.

Among those in attendance to watch her potential last game of collegiate hoops, should TCU not be able to advance, is Orlando Magic two-way force Jalen Suggs. The pair have been linked to be together for years now, and his recent appearances at her games have sparked further speculation about their relationship, though neither has confirmed it.

ESPN posted a video of Suggs showing his support for Van Lith X (formerly Twitter):

During the TCU Horned Frogs' huge Sweet 16 victory over the third-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 71-62, on Sunday, March 29, Jalen Suggs was also captured watching and supporting Hailey Van Lith and the rest of her team. Another moment that went viral as well is when he chest-bumped the fifth-year sensation's father, Corey.

For that game, Van Lith finished with a game-high 26 points, nine rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 39 minutes of playing time as the graduating player is looking to close out her college career strong and declare for the WNBA Draft afterwards.
