The Jaguars looked impressive in their Sun Belt championship game against
Western Kentucky, worrying #4 and #5 seeds across the country. USA is a
deep team and Coach John Pelphrey isn’t opposed to playing ten players in
the first five minutes. Jason McGriff and Leandro Buboltz, a couple of
junior college transfers, will have their hands full under the basket.
Those are the only two, of those ten players, that are over 6-6. If they
can’t step it up on the defensive end, a bigger, stronger team can dominate
the paint.
