At 6-foot-4, Smart wants nothing more than an opportunity to guard the sinewy 6-8 Wiggins.
"Definitely," Smart says. "I am not going to back down from any challenge. Like I said, you are going to have to prove to me. I am a fighter; I will keep fighting and will never give up."
Cute OKie State. Don't poke the giants.

He's right, though. The hype around Wiggins is enormous and it's going to create some enormous pressure on him.
And don't forget, Smart also backed up those words last year when he actually won at AFH.
