Bella Hines will transfer to TCU, Filmogaz.com reported Sunday through Talia Goodman.
The move follows her lone season with LSU.

Playing profile and season review

Hines averaged 4.2 points per game last season. She shot 44 percent from the field.

Most of her attempts came from beyond the arc. She helped space the floor for LSU’s playmakers.

Hines saw limited action early in SEC play. Her role expanded in February.

She logged more than 10 minutes in five of seven games that month. Her scoring and defense improved.

The choice to leave LSU surprised some observers after her late-season surge. She appeared on track to compete for a starting spot.

The ex-LSU women’s basketball guard announced her new transfer destination as TCU in the Big 12.

TCU has built a strong reputation in the transfer portal. The program has landed several high-profile guards recently.

Last season, head coach Mark Campbell added former Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles. He also secured former Tiger Hailey Van Lith ahead of 2024-25.

Hines will join a TCU roster accustomed to integrating transfers. Her shooting and positional versatility should appeal to the Horned Frogs.
