The Low Post

Read full description

The Low Post is a college basketball app for fans who want more than a final score. It covers every Division I team, with the detail you usually have to stitch together from three different sites. Pick your team during onboarding and the app reorients around it. Scores, schedules, previews and notifications are all tuned to the program you follow. WHAT YOU GET - Scores for every Division I game, with live score and clock updates - Game previews: a written preview, the matchup, last season's numbers and both rosters - Game recaps for finished games, with Plays, Stats, Box and Shots tabs - Box scores with the stats that explain a game: plus/minus, true shooting, usage and the Four Factors - Shot charts that show where the points came from - National leaders across Division I, team sheets, team comparisons, lineups and scouting reports - Ask: type a question about a team, player or game and get an answer from our data - Cut the Nets, our daily basketball game - Push notifications for tip-off, close games and final scores, only for the alerts you turn on WHY THE LOW POST The box score 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. When we don't have real data for something yet, we say so instead of showing a placeholder. ABOUT PICKS The Picks tab shows analysis of spreads, totals and moneylines. It is for information only, and there is no wagering in 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.
