Is this the womens board?

No it's the "play with joy" board.

It's a game. They're allowed to enjoy.

With regard to Purvis, he continually seemed to anticipate contact, and so shot harder than he needed to.

A point that was mentioned by the announcers more than once. Which might not be his game since he hasn't been lighting it up from the FT line. But he was getting to the rim. And even with the floaters... one Brimah took away that looked like it was in.

This was the first time I got to see them play, and only the first half. I came away with the feeling that if they can finish their shots, this team will go on to have some massive offensive runs this season. Sure, they can get sloppy. Sure, Brimah doesn't look any better than last year. Sure, Facey still lacks court awareness. But otherwise, looks like one of our more athletic teams and is probably going to be fun to watch once they gel.
