Murray State: gut feeling

My gut says this game is a must-win for Georgia.  Of course it technically isn't - there is no such thing this early in the season.  But a loss here tells me this team has problems that aren't going to be easily fixed.

My gut says Georgia Basketball Blog is right: the new officiating strategy is going to hurt Georgia, at least at first.  The additional trips to the line will be cancelled out by an inability to consistently hit free throws and the necessity to play softer defense.  I think the NCAA has over-corrected so far, and I hope they're able to find a happy medium.

My gut says Kenny Gaines has a big game tonight.  I suspect he's been stewing over those offensive fouls all week.

My gut says Georgia would be looking for win number 2 if Juwan Parker was healthy.  Unfortunately, that doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon...and maybe ever.

My gut says, unless there's foul trouble, Houston Kessler gets less minutes tonight and Mike Edwards gets more.

My gut says Georgia wins tonight - barely.
