posted by Swish Appeal In keeping with SB Nation’s innovative use of social media in reshaping sports journalism, our vision is a women's basketball site that goes beyond merely providing game reports; instead, we want to capture the narratives that fuel our passion for the game, while maintaining the critical stance that helps us understand the game better. |

"Difference between OU men's & women's point guards' style is joy, misery"
While people go back and forth debating the merits of the NBA and NCAA, Berry Trammel of NewsOK has articulated a difference between men's and women's college basketball, focusing on Oklahoma's Tommy Mason-Griffin and Danielle Robinson:
"That’s why some fans migrate to the women’s game. The men run faster and jump higher. They shoot straighter and have fewer turnovers than your average Arby’s.
But while most men play with passion and effort, they not all play with joy.
Joy is attractive. Joy is contagious. Some fans say the women’s game of today is like the men’s game of 30 years ago. Athletically, that’s not so. Spiritually, it be so.
Some men still play like they have pride in their old alma mater. But all women seem to play that way."
So yes, there will be examples of men who play with joy, but it's something that the women's game seems infused with. Maybe joy is boring to some people, but I like it.
