Quote from: martyThe new Android version isn't showing the in game box today 3/29. Is live stats working during the NCAAs?

There are no live stats for NCAA tournament games.
When I tap "Box Score" (iOS version) I get the tale of the tape screen.  Same root cause?

Yes. That's all I can see in the Android version too. Before Age replied I restored the previous version from backup and realized that it acted the same as the new version.

The new version looks great. Thank you!

Tale of the Tape uses data that's always available so, at a minimum, that will always be shown when you tap Box Score. The rest of it is dependent on data from the live stats of each game. NCAA owns the rights to the tourney games so they're not part of our package. Everything you see in the app from the tourney is done manually. We assembled partial box score data after yesterday's games. However, we are working on a script that attempts to cobble together some of that data from public sources, so you may see some of it return.

The NCAA sucks.  

It was bad timing to release a new version of the Android app when we knew box scores / live stats would not be available immediately for NCAA games.  A bunch of folks down-rated the Android app as a result, oh well.  Fortunately, we got the some amount of box score information working in a semi-automated fashion.  Hopefully that approach will work for the FF.
