Personally I would hardly call the season pretty stale regardless of what happens from here on out. I attended 18 games in the Convo this season and we won 16 of them. Throughout the season the Convo came back to life as a place with a great college basketball atmosphere. I have enjoyed the season immensely, winning at that rate is amazing and I don't care the quality of the opponents - they are the other team on the floor and we beat them at at an 89% rate. I have been in the Convo for 40+ seasons and this one was thoroughly enjoyable. Winning is great and there are some wonderful and unique players on this team to appreciate that do more than just hoop.
I get the frustration and I am pulling for more from this team in Cleveland to take this season to a special place. But will the season end up being remembered as pretty stale? Not for this fan.
I voted for one win, but I agree with the gist of this. Even though we look like paper tigers (bobcats?) at this point, the revival of the basketball culture in Athens was huge. I get that Ohio doesn't have the best facilities in the conference largely due to lacking a practice gym, but the atmosphere of the Convo is head and shoulders above anything else in the MAC. Hopefully that moves the recruiting needle.
