I mean, there are literally no asterisks but if you need to feel good about them somehow that’s cool. I bet we could find a few bad calls that helped Duke in a couple of their title runs. Or we could be dumb enough to think Lance Thomas (did he play in one) is a black mark on one somehow?? That’s all silly fanboy stuff though.
Yes, it is all silly. I'm not disagreeing. Just funny how two of their titles were sealed by boneheaded plays (82,93), one by an obvious missed call (17), and two titles were facilitated by no-show classes. Nothing officially going down as an asterisk, but a pretty good luck of the draw on all of those titles. All titles have an element of a luck to it, but the ones I mentioned were slightly more lucky than most. Just my opinion.
That’s a pretty terrible take but fans do like to justify things.
