Hairston practiced with 26 other players selected to try out for USA Basketball’s World University Games squad, set to travel to Kazan, Russia, on July 7 for the week-long tournament. “I’m not worried about anything,” Hairston said. “I’m just worried about USA basketball and trying to help us win a gold medal.” (Daily Tar Heel)
