Seasons are defined by memorable wins, especially but not always limited to closing wins. Recent cases-in-point: I barely remember the year 2000 (football) for the mediocre season it was. What stands out for me most was a "Don't Muff It" home win over New Mexico, followed by the Miracle for Lavell. Another: 2001 had a dismally disappointing ending (I still remember switching off the Hawaii game in disgust), but included many exciting games that still make it a memorable season. This, as opposed to 1999, which was a relatively decent season, marred by a horrible ending (including visible team disunity).
For me at least, it's hard to boil a single season, football or basketball, down to one game.
