Can GSU be good - and lucky - again?

The talent level on Georgia State will be far above that of any of the other Belt teams this next season. And they will be the prohibitive favorites starting the year, as they should be. On paper no one should be able to stay with them. Last year demonstrated that. However, as the old saying goes, it is better to be lucky than good. Last year GSU was very good, clearly the class of the SBC. However, they were also lucky. By that I mean the many things that can happen to throw a monkey wrench into a team's season. There is always the possibility of injury to key players, but there can also be chemistry issues, off-the-court problems, etc., etc. There is a whole laundry list of things that can happen to throw a team off its oats and cause distractions. Georgia State did not have those last year. That is the "lucky" part (although some of that is not merely luck). They will be good this year. Will they also be lucky? Stay tuned.
