If you’ve been watching this tournament, you know the Horned Frogs are playing their best basketball at the right time. There’s value not just at +7.5, but also at +4.5 and even the moneyline for those looking to take a shot.

Hailey Van Lith: Unstoppable Right Now

Van Lith is on a historic scoring run, carrying TCU past Notre Dame in an upset last round. She’s been the clear offensive leader, knocking down tough shots and keeping defenses scrambling. Texas is going to have a problem containing her, and if she stays hot, TCU is going to keep this game tight.

TCU’s Defense is Legit

It’s not just about the offense—TCU’s defense has been playing top-tier basketball. They have the personnel to make things difficult for Texas, especially for Madison Booker, who’s stepping into her first Elite 8 game. The pressure of the moment, combined with a locked-in TCU defense, could lead to some struggles for the Longhorns’ star.
