Here are a handful of statistical tidbits to help get you through your day:
>>> The Sixers are 25-11 this season when Wilson Chandler plays, 9-8 when he does not. He missed Saturday’s loss in Sacramento with a quad injury and is expected to be out at least a couple of weeks.
>>> When Saint Joseph’s meets La Salle Tuesday at Gola Arena it will be the 600th game in City Series history . . .
>>> . . . but it will be just the second City Series game ever that will pit two teams with 0-3 Big 5 records facing each other. The first was Temple 68, La Salle 58 on March 6, 2003.
>>> The Hawks will be trying to avoid their fifth 0-4 City Series record. La Salle will be trying to dodge its ninth. The 0-4s for the other schools: Penn 15, Temple 1 (1970-71), Villanova 3 (last 1973-74).
