It all seems to be coming together at the right time for us. We've been able to play well in back-to-back games and we were able to do some good things on both offense and defense and be able to create chances off of both very well.

Cassie has been solid for us this year. She's dependable and has the attitude that she can play with anyone. I don't expect her to play any other way against Utah.

We had good looks and open shots at the basket, but we did not finish and that just killed us. Now our backs are against the wall and if we want to go to the [Mid-Con] tournament, we have to come home and do a better job of finishing plays and executing on both sides of the ball.

Every time we play Butler it rains, so that's not something new for us.

They always come ready to play and they gave us a tough time over there. It's a rivalry game, so we have to be ready for that. It's a great game to play before we start the tournaments.

Going into the league tournament, we know that anything can happen. No team out there is invincible and everyone is starting at 0-0. It's a great time of year to still be playing basketball.
