Malik Hairston Game Quotations

We're right there to play with every team in the conference. We're talented enough, we fight hard enough. At the end of games, we don't play as smart as we need to and with as much poise and confidence, taking the game instead of handing it away.

They're also a very tough basketball team. They have some great inside players and a very good perimeter game. So we'll just execute the game plan as we've done these past couple of games.

We've gotten better every game defensively. We're understanding basically what it takes on defense and we've gotten in a lot better shape. We know we need to run with our man, (and) work with our man.

The game will be won on the defensive end.
