Good Gawd. In the moment people, the LVs just went father than anyone expected going into the tourney and we a thread turned into another Holly bashing fest.
As for the road "being paved," that is just a silly view of the world. If a team is a good enough to beat SC, then they are a serious competition for the LVs. When Louisville beat the LVs after upsetting the Griner-led Baylor, it did mean that the LVs then lost to a cupcake; they got beat by the team that had just knocked off Baylor and who were flying high.
One game at a time, move on an advance. I hope the LVs get to their final four (Graves has paid her dues) but it will be a fight and a hard road.
