Okay, okay … I see you, Hailey. I see you.

Louisville blew out Texas, 73-51, Monday night to punch their ticket into the Sweet 16 of the NCAA March Madness women’s college basketball tournament, but things got a bit tense after the fact.

As the teams were lined up and they were about to shake hands, Cardinals junior guard Hailey Van Lith was stopped by Longhorns senior guard Sonya Morris, with Morris visibly chirping at Van Lith.

At first, it appeared like it was a normal conversation between Van Lith and Morris, however, Van Lith appeared to get annoyed and stormed away from Morris, with Morris still talking (and appearing to look irritated) as Van Lith was walking up the handshake line. In the process, Van Lith was chirping all the way up it, shaking hands with the rest of the Texas team.

There’s no clarity on what exactly sparked things up, but Van Lith made a comment about the incident after the game.

“I think there was some frustration going on,” said Van Lith to the Courier-Journal. “I’m not gonna let no one disrespect me. But my teammates got my back. And I don’t have nothing bad to say. They’re coached great. They have great players. So it is what it is. People are sad when they lose, I’d be sad too.”

SHOTS FIRED!


This isn’t your typical blonde that just stands there and looks pretty.

 

This girl is a bit of a brawler (and she can ball)! I see you, Hailey!
