Hailey Van Lith and the TCU women's basketball team are looking to keep their March Madness run going on Monday night by knocking out the No. 1 seed Texas Longhorns to reach the Final Four. It won't be easy, but the Horned Frogs believe they still have some magic left.

Speaking of magic, Orlando Magic star Jalen Suggs, who has been dating Hailey Van Lith for several years, is once again in attendance.

After being part of a viral video with Van Lith's father, Corey, during the Sweet 16, the duo is sitting together for the Lonestar State showdown on Monday night.

Suggs left no doubt what was on his mind by proudly rocking a Van Lith No. 10 jersey for the game.

Suggs is able to attend the games while the Magic season finishes up because he is currently recovering from an arthroscopic surgery earlier in the month to repair a left knee trochlea cartilage tear.

The couple first dated in 2001 when Suggs was a star for the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Van Lith was starring at Louisville.

As long as TCU can continue its deep run in the NCAA Tournament, expect to continue seeing Suggs proudly supporting Van Lith from the stands. And, who knows, if we're lucky we will get another viral celebration.
