Welcome to Soft Pretzel Logic's live coverage of Selection Sunday.
With the Selection Show just hours away, here's the final edition of Crunchy Numbers of the season. As we find out who's in and out of the field among the local teams, here's the last rundown of all the big stats.
Remember to enter Philly.com's Hoops Hysteria contest, in which you can win a 50-inch plasma TV from Bob and Ron's Worldwide Stereo if you have the best bracket.
You can also compare your bracket to a panel of experts from the Inquirer, Daily News and Philly.com, or you can play in the Soft Pretzel Logic group just for fun.
(Ignore the Philly.com group; I created it by accident when trying to build a group for the blog and now I can't get rid of it. Sorry.)

Jonathan, Do you have any crunchy stats on the upcoming recruiting class for each of the six teams? I am curious to see how each school fared with respect to recruiting. St. Joseph's, Drexel, and Penn all need a lot of help next year.
