JLab Playmakers
Hailey Van Lith, the dynamic point guard for TCU's women's basketball team, has joined the JLab Playmaker roster, bringing her fierce competitive spirit and winning mentality to the partnership. For game days and warm-ups, Van Lith locks in with her JBuds Lux over-ear headphones, using the premium sound quality and active noise cancellation to get in the zone. During intense training sessions, she switches to the Epic Sport ANC 3 earbuds, which provide a secure fit that stays put through every drill and workout.
The partnership resonates deeply with Van Lith's approach to the game and life. "Partnering with JLab is very exciting for me," she says. "When I first started checking out their collection, I loved all the styles and colors — it was clear they put personality into their products. I use music to get in the right headspace before games, and JLab helps me tap into that energy in a way that fits my vibe. But what really stood out is how much they care about who we are beyond basketball — as people, not just athletes. That balance really means a lot to me."
Historic Season at TCU
Van Lith’s arrival helped propel TCU to its best start to a season in school history. The Horned Frogs surged to a 19-1 overall record and attained their highest AP Top 25 ever at No. 9. Van Lith has been the catalyst in the teams’ success. She is the only player in America averaging 18 points, six assists and 4.5 rebounds per game, flashing her ability as both a scorer and a facilitator. Again the focal point of an offense, Van Lith has proven a player can grow at any stage of their college career. She has nearly doubled her assist per game average from last season and is on track to break TCU’s single-season assist record. The ultimate big-game player, Van Lith has been her best against the country’s top teams, as she is one of only four players who has tallied at least 20 points and five assists in multiple games vs. top 15 teams.
Championship Pedigree
Before joining TCU, Van Lith's basketball journey included successful stints at Louisville, where she led the Cardinals to a Final Four appearance, and LSU, where she contributed to one of the nation's top programs. However, it's at TCU where she's writing perhaps her most impressive chapter, leading a historic season that has the basketball world taking notice.
Beyond the Court
Van Lith's impact extends far beyond her scoring statistics. She brings Olympic-level experience to the Horned Frogs, having earned a bronze medal with Team USA's 3x3 basketball team at the 2024 Olympics. Her dedication to excellence shows in her academic achievements as well, having already earned her bachelor's degree in finance from Louisville and completed her master's degree at LSU.
Looking Ahead
As TCU continues their record-breaking season, Van Lith's leadership and experience will be crucial in navigating the challenging Big 12 conference schedule. With her combination of scoring ability, court vision, and championship experience, she's positioning the Horned Frogs for what could be their most successful season ever. The basketball world will be watching as Van Lith and TCU continue their pursuit of excellence.
