Crunchy Numbers

Sorry this is so late. I went to the Flower Show with my mother this afternoon, and I got slammed with a cold yesterday morning that probably won't be gone until after the weekend.

If you haven't read Mike Jensen's great feature story on Bobby Convey yet, do so. It's as detailed a profile of the Northeast Philly native -- who I interviewed a couple years ago when he played for D.C. United -- as I've ever seen.

All of the numbers are through Thursday games, so Penn's loss to Cornell -- a really thrilling game, by the way -- is not included in the data.

With only a few games left to play, this is the next-to-last Crunchy Numbers of the regular season. There will be one more next week after Penn wraps up its regular season against Princeton.

Do people rush the floor at the Flower Show?

And more importantly, do you question it?

Jonathan Tannenwald is a producer with Philly.com.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
