Hacksaw Jim Duggan’s favorite school (USA! USA! USA!) dominated highly favored Western Kentucky in the Sun Belt Championship game sending the Hilltoppers to the wrong side of “the bubble”. If USA is peaking at the right time, then great but nothing they have done during the regular season has prepared them for the NCAA Tournament. Stay away.
