WASHINGTON –  It's a tough night when the basketball team can't outscore the football team. The gridiron Tennessee Volunteers averaged 36. 2 points this season. The hoops version lost 37-36 to No. 20 Georgetown on Friday night, an offensive display of offensive basketball that made the SEC/Big East Challenge look like more like the games they used to play with peach baskets. "We just couldn't come up with shots," Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin said. No one's going to argue with you there, Coach. It was Tennessee's second-lowest scoring total since the shot clock went into effect in the 1985-86 season, better only than in a 43-35 loss to Auburn in 1997. It was Georgetown's worst effort of the shot clock era, its lowest total since a 37-36 win over Southern Methodist in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 1985.

"But our defense gives us a chance to be there at the end of the game, and I take a lot of the responsibility for this. I owe it to my team to take shots and that's what I have to do. So the responsibility of that goes on me tonight."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
