I would say pump the brakes just a bit too. It has been a a while since the LVs made the sweet 16 so that would be a significant step forward. This team has some good test games coming up: obviously SC, KY looks like a tough game and Uconn despite early season struggles shoudl offer a good assessment.
My concern with this team right now is the inconsistent shooting. So, i think a lot rides on how soon (and if) Rae gets back to her pre-injury self and gets fully integrated into the team's offensive flow. The game against Ole Miss showed that the press can disrupt the LVs and so they will face more of that. I think Brooklyn can be our press breaker but that remains a bit of a question mark.
The LVs defense, particularly if key continues to stay out of foul trouble, can keep them in games with anybody. The only question is whether they can score enough. The lVs have had two back-to-back solid offensive games so hopefully that trend continues.
