By the way, the asterisk laden wins over WVU and NCSU came without the SoCon Defensive Player of the Year - Max Gosselin. He was out for the WVU game because of a pretty hard foul he delivered and got kicked out for in the early part of the first half in the NCSU game. So let's be careful with the asterisks. do we deserve a bid? Probably not - not with the big conference bias in the NCAA, but does the WVU win deserve to be belittled? No. That same WVU team with that same guy hurt beat some pretty damn good basketball teams. Tell me why the win over West Virginia “comes with an asterisk” but our losses without Curry do not?
