CAN HEAR CLEARWATER CALLING
With typos corrected (twice). Argh.
Before you head off for Christmas, here's an appetizer to set up your weekend feasting. It's the first Crunchy Numbers of the basketball season.
This year, I'm going to do the Schuylkill 16 NCAA Tournament teamsheet compilation each week in addition to the City Six rankings table. The teamsheets come from Basketball State, and if you don't have a subscription I'd strongly encourage you to get one.
As usual, the rankings table has the City Six teams and the teamsheet table has the Schuylkill 16. I'll also do a second teamsheet table each week featuring other teams of interest from across the country.
I'd like to keep that table to 16 teams too, but if there's a team you want to see let me know and I'll try to find space for it.
In the rankings table, RPI data comes from Stats Inc. (which we host here on Philly.com) and strength-of-schedule data comes from Ken Pomeroy. All data is as of December 22.
