    Coach Flo on Keonna Farmer...
    "I think Keonna definitely fits when you think of our 1-2-2 press, or any of our presses. She's long, she's at the top of the press, she's hard to pass over.

    "With such a big class, you want to bring in a kid that has some experience, especially with Shae having SEC experience that really helps us a lot. Shea can shoot the three for us.

She's just someone we can use in a variety of ways."
