Player of the game against McNeese State: P.J. Hairston

Posted Dec 22, 2012
In Saturday’s 97-63 victory against McNeese State, P.J. Hairston scored a career-high 20 points by not settling to merely bomb away from 3-point range. He hit three 3-pointers, but also showcased an aggressive style that helped him grab four offensive rebounds and go 7-for-8 from the free throw line. “It’s just a matter of making shots,” Hairston said.
