Maryland women's basketball begins Big Ten play Thursday afternoon in Champaign, as the Terps battle the up-and-coming Illinois Fighting Illini. The game can be streamed, with a subscription,on BTN2Go.
Fans learned a lot about this year's team in the non-conference slate of games, particularly Monday's matchup against No. 1 UConn. Maryland enters Big Ten play with an 11-1 record, and hopes to continue its dominance over the rest of the conference. Last season, the Terps went 18-0 in conference play before winning the tournament, and this year they are expected to do roughly the same. But games and championships are won on the hardwood floor rather than on paper, and for the first time this year, Maryland will be playing a true road game.
