Western Carolina lately had a modest two-game win streak stopped in a 72-70 loss at Eastern Kentucky last Saturday, saddling the team with its fifth obstacle in eight games this season. The Catamounts are simply 1-4 in true road tilts, 2-5 far from house all told, and one of those roadway wins came at Furman (79-65) last Wednesday in their first Southern Conference bout of the project. Illinois has beaten back all comers, sprinting out to an 8-0 beginning for the second straight year. John Groce is the first coach to win his first eight games at UI in even more than a century. The Illini lately looked after checking out Georgia Tech over the weekend, 75-62, to win their 4th straight ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup. The win was likewise UI's 19th straight in the house against non - conference competition.

In what has been declared one of the iciest stares caught on camera, Bryant's frustration with the struggling Los Angeles Lakers could have a change for the better when the Golden State Warriors invade Staples Center Friday. The Lakers swept last season's series with the Warriors, winning all four encounters, and are 25-3 in the past 28 meetings between the Pacific Division rivals. On top of that, the Lakers have won eight in a row and 17 of the last 18 matchups as the host. Los Angeles has the worst record in the Western Conference at 1-4 and Bryant's disappointment with the team carried over into Wednesday's 95-86 loss at Utah. Bryant was on the bench with a seething stare that appeared to be directed at head coach Mike Brown, who has the support of Lakers executive vice president Jim Buss.

-0.0697363"I thought we didn't play well offensively," Brown said. "I can count on both hands and both feet how many wide-open shots we had, especially from the 3-point line, that you hope or think is going to go in. Every wide-open three that we missed or every time we went up to try to dunk the ball or lay it in and it got stripped or it got knocked out of our hands, it made us tighten up a little bit more. Again, we didn't do a good job of moving on to the next play."

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.
