Maryland celebrated New Year's Eve by flying more than 2,300 miles to Seattle for a game Thursday against Washington. Welcome to the expanded Big Ten Conference. "Usually I don't make it past 10:30 (p.m. on New Year's Eve), so this will be exciting for me because we're going to be on the airplane, so I'll be with all the guys," Terrapins coach Kevin Willard said. "I know they'll stay up. So hopefully we travel safe, and when we land, we'll celebrate a New Year and get ready for the Big Ten play." The Terrapins (11-2, 1-1 Big Ten) opened conference action early last month by crushing Ohio State 83-59 at home before absorbing an 83-78 loss at then-No.
