About

The Low Post

Features
Read full description

The Low Post is a basketball app built for one thing: ACC hoops. No NBA filler, no other conferences crowding the feed. Just the 18 teams you actually care about, covered with the kind of detail you usually have to stitch together from three different tabs. Pick your team during onboarding and the whole app reorients around it. Scores, schedules, picks, notifications — all tuned to the program you follow. WHAT YOU GET - Live game tracking with score, clock, and possession updates as they happen - Shot charts rendered in real time, so you can see exactly where buckets are coming from - Box scores with the stats that actually explain a game: plus/minus, true shooting, usage, and the Four Factors - A full schedule and result feed for every ACC team, plus standings and head-to-head context - Team pages with rosters, recent form, and the numbers that matter - Push notifications for tipoff, close games, final scores, and your team's results — only the alerts you opt into - Live Activities on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, so you can follow a game without unlocking your phone - Picks tab with spread, total, and moneyline analysis built on a model that respects the ACC's pace and depth quirks WHY THE LOW POST Most basketball apps treat the ACC like a side dish. The Low Post is the whole menu. The box score tab pulls in plus/minus and Dean Oliver's Four Factors — effective field goal percentage, turnover rate, offensive rebounding, and free throw rate — because those four numbers tell you more about a game than the final score does. The shot chart is built with native rendering so it stays smooth even on a packed second-half run. If you follow Duke, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pitt, Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, Syracuse, SMU, Cal, or Stanford — this app is built for you. ABOUT PICKS The Picks tab surfaces model-driven analysis on spreads, totals, and moneylines. Picks are informational and there is no wagering inside the app. PRIVACY We collect what we need to make the app work: your followed team, your notification preferences, and the push token your device uses to receive alerts. No third-party advertising trackers. No data sold to anyone. Built by ACC fans, for ACC fans. Welcome to the conference's home court.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Low Post at none against Baseball Live's 5. The Low Post also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Baseball Live's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
