Brice Williams was a do-it-yourselfer for Nebraska in a 49-46 loss to No. 15 Michigan. He scored 26 points, including 18 of the team's 21 in the first half. Williams made three straight 3-pointers in the first four minutes and accounted for the Cornhuskers’ first 13 points. Connor Essegian was the only other Nebraska player to make a field goal in the first half, hitting a runner in the lane with 9:08 left. Williams finished 9 of 21 from the field. Nine teammates were a combined 7 of 41.

Jaden McDaniels scored 27 points, Anthony Edwards blocked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s go-ahead shot attempt and the Minnesota Timberwolves overcame a 25-point deficit in the second half to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 131-128 in overtime on Monday night. Naz Reid had 22 points and 11 rebounds and Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 21 points for the Timberwolves. Edwards had 17 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for Minnesota, which lost 130-123 to the Thunder on Sunday night. Gilgeous-Alexander had 39 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. He missed a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left in the extra period that would have tied the game.

Hit hard by injuries early in spring training, the New York Mets added some depth Monday night when they acquired outfielder Alexander Canario from the Chicago Cubs for cash. Canario, who turns 25 in May, made his major league debut for the Cubs in September 2023. He is 12 for 42 with two homers, eight RBIs and an .857 OPS in 21 career games over the past two seasons. The right-handed hitter was designated for assignment last week when Chicago signed veteran infielder Justin Turner. In a corresponding move, the Mets placed backup infielder Nick Madrigal on the 60-day injured list with a broken left shoulder.
