We’re trying out a new concept this basketball season to try to bring hardcore hoops fans the vital information from around the Lowco as soon as possible on nights with heavy slates. So welcome to the Friday edition of Lowco Hoops Live.
Here’s the deal: We get a deluge of game reports and scorebook photos each night, and it takes time to sort through them, suss out what happened, track down stats, and turn around recaps. We’re a bare bones operation made up of people who unfortunately still require daily sleep, so we’re limited in how quickly we can do so, and that leaves you waiting to know what happened.
So we’re testing out the Lowco Hoops Live, where we’ll publish a post with the night’s slate of games and update with the vital information as it comes in. You can know what we know in (almost) real time and wait for the full recap for more information.
After Jan. 1, this feature will only be available to our Patreon supporters, so be sure to pledge $1 or more per month to support grassroots LOCAL sports journalism so you don’t lose access!
