Keys led the Bobcats to a 1-1 record at the Lady Saints Tip-Off Classic, the weekend tournament in Dahlonega, Ga. where the Bobcats played. In the two games she scored 45 points on 15-of-26 shooting including 9-16 from behind the arc. Keys was also perfect on the weekend from the charity stripe, going 6-of-6.
