Hailey Van Lith went incredibly viral during the Elite 8 on Monday night for several reasons.

The LSU star guard wanted a chance at a National Championship and to be put in a moment like this after she transferred from Louisville for the 2023-24 season. As it turns out, the lights were way too bright for Van Lith on both ends of the court.

Caitlin Clark ended LSU’s defense of their National Championship as Caitlin Clark scored 41 points on the night. For much of the game, she was being defended by Van Lith who could do nothing to stop her from hitting nine three-pointers.

On the other side of the floor, Van Lith was even more dreadful as she only scored 9 points on a terrible 2-10 shooting while being 1-6 from behind the arc. She also had two turnovers and three personal fouls in 31 minutes played.

After the game, she found herself going viral for another reason as someone posted for her to take her talents to OF while creating a sensual video.

 

The senior guard is unlikely to do that and take her talents to the WNBA instead.

Hailey Van Lith transferred to LSU and was looked at as yet another viable scoring option on a team that already had plenty.

Once the NCAA tournament started, the lights became too bright and she folded. Van Lith never scored more than 9 points in any of the four games that the team played.

Van Lith scored 7 points on 2-7 shooting in 27 minutes against Rice, 4 points on 1-5 shooting in 27 minutes against MTSU, 7 points on 1-8 shooting in 28 minutes against UCLA, and finally a 9-point effort in the Elite 8 against Iowa, via ESPN.com.
