The Terrapin women’s basketball team dominated Vanderbilt tonight. The consensus among the assortment of media and the Terps themselves was that the 80-66 win was the Terps’ best all-around performance in a very long while.

Kristi Toliver mentioned games against Oklahoma and LSU that were played back in November as the last performances that were similar to this.

After Diamondback photographer Adam Fried and I left the rather generic Spokane Arena after the game, we decided to walk the mile or so back to the hotel instead of wait for a taxi.

It didn’t take long before we were extremely confused about where we were, and we ended up crossing the bridge over a large river, and crossing another bridge farther down going the other way over the river before we found the hotel.

It turned out we made a huge circle around a good chunk of Spokane. The hotel really wasn’t that far from the arena.

We did get to see some pretty nice scenery though, as the rapids in the river were pretty impressive, and since we’re on pacific time, we still made it back before 10 p.m.

And speaking of impressive sightings, there’s a rumor that Henry Winkler, a.k.a The Fonz is in town for reasons unrelated to basketball.

John Willmott of the WMUC radio crew took a picture with Winkler in the airport yesterday, and Fonzi is apparently staying at the same hotel as the Terps.

He is reportedly in town to make an appearance at some sort of show or event with the actor who played Ralph Malph in Happy Days and the actress who played Shirley in Laverne and Shirley.

Spokane is obviously the place to be this weekend.
