Schools for data are currently listed as 'WichitaStVKentucky'. The letter 'V' between school names should be replaced with a special character '$' sign for my functions to be run without a problem. That is, 'WichitaSt$Kentucky'

@sunhwap Hey! just to make sure we are on the same page, we are plotting matchups (i.e. Wichita St v. Kentucky as one datapoint) not individual schools (i.e. Wichita State and Kentucky as separate datapoints) correct? The functions we have calculate the totals for each matchup (via any mention of either or both schools), not the totals for each school. I envisioned that the user of this program is more concerned with the differences in games that people are talking about and not the differences between individual schools. Hopefully this makes sense!

Yes, it is matchups. So my program spits out both schools that involve in the same game.
