NCAAMBKB – Michigan’s Diabate enters draft, Dickinson staying in school Michigan freshman Moussa Diabate is entering the NBA draft. The 6-foot-11 forward announced his plans on Monday, a day after standout center Hunter Dickinson decided to return for his junior season. Diabate started 26 of 32 games for the Wolverines, averaging nine points and six rebounds. He was born in Paris and played high school basketball in Florida. Diabate has until June 1 to withdraw from the draft. The 7-1 Dickinson averaged 18.6 points and 8.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks a game last season, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors. MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Tigers, White Sox, and Cubs were off Tonight Kansas City (Lynch 1-1) at Chicago White Sox (Keuchel 1-1), 7:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Stroman 0-2) at Atlanta (Fried 1-2), 7:20 p.m. Detroit (Rodriguez 0-1) at Minnesota (Paddack 0-2), 7:40 p.m. WSJM/WCSY 7:20 MLB – Cabrera could be the last for a while to reach 3,000 hits Miguel Cabrera reached the 3,000-hit mark on a weekend afternoon in front of an adoring crowd at his home ballpark in Detroit. It was a moment worthy of the milestone. It could also be the last time it happens for a while. In an era of high strikeout totals and low batting averages, there aren’t any other players who seem likely to reach 3,000 hits any time soon. In fact, the first few weeks of this season are a reminder of how current trends in baseball could affect which milestones remain in reach for the game’s top players. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Chicago Blackhawks 3, Philadelphia Flyers 1 Blackhawks 3, Flyers 1 – DeBrincat, Lankinen help Blackhawks top Flyers 3-1 Alex DeBrincat scored his 41st goal in the third period and Kevin Lankinen made 33 saves, helping the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 in a matchup of disappointing teams. Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist as Chicago won for just the fifth time in its last 20 games. Erik Gustafsson also scored, and Dominik Kubalik picked up an assist in his 200th NHL game. Philadelphia lost for the 12th time in its last 16 games. Kevin Hayes scored for the Flyers, and Felix Sandstrom made 30 stops in his fourth NHL start. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – First Round Yesterday Boston Celtics 116, Brooklyn Nets 112 (BOS Wins 4-0) Toronto Raptors 103, Philadelphia 76ers 88 (PHI Leads 3-2) Dallas Mavericks 102, Utah Jazz 77 (DAL Leads 3-2) Tonight Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat, 7:00 p.m. (MIA Leads 3-1) Minnesota Timberwolves at Memphis Grizzlies, 7:30 p.m. (Series Tied 2-2) New Orleans Pelicans at Phoenix Suns, 10:00 p.m. (Series Tied 2-2) NBA – Bulls’ Caruso in concussion protocol ahead of Bucks’ Game 5 Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso is in the NBA’s concussion protocol and is questionable for Game 5 of the first-round playoff series at Milwaukee. Caruso took an inadvertent hit to the face from the Bucks’ Jevon Carter while trying to get around a pick late in the second quarter on Sunday. He exited with a bloody nose. The Bucks lead 3-1 and will try to wrap up the series at home on Wednesday night. Milwaukee won the past two games in Chicago by a combined 54 points. NFL – Virginia to probe Washington Commanders dealings Virginia’s attorney general has launched an inquiry into the Washington Commanders following allegations of financial improprieties raised by a congressional committee. Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares disclosed his office’s investigation in a letter to a team lawyer. The House Committee on Oversight and Reform disclosed earlier this month that it found evidence the team engaged in deceptive business practices for more than a decade. The Commanders have been in talks with Virginia lawmakers about a deal to build a new stadium. NCAAFB – Big Ten’s best defenses come out of spring in rebuild mode Coordinator changes and heavy player personnel losses made it a spring of uncertainty for the top Big Ten defenses. Start with Wisconsin. The Badgers have been in the national top five in total defense three straight years. They must replace eight of their top 10 tacklers. Penn State has a new coordinator in Manny Diaz. The former Miami coach must fill spots of as many as six players who could be drafted. Defending conference champion Michigan must replace seven starters. Ohio State also is retooling its defense after it got exposed against Oregon and in a 42-27 loss to Michigan. Golf – PGA – Mickelson signs up for PGA events, ask to play in Saudi-funded tournament Phil Mickelson has signed up for the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. His manager also asked the PGA Tour for permission to play in a Saudi-funded golf tournament outside London. It was the first word from the Mickelson camp since Feb. 22, when Mickelson apologized for explosive remarks in a book excerpt by Alan Shipnuck in which he disparaged the Saudis behind Greg Norman’s attempt at a rival league and said he wanted leverage against the “obnoxious greed” of the PGA Tour. NCAABSB – N Dakota St still waits for home game after 36 in a row away The North Dakota State baseball team has never experienced anything like this year The Bison have played their first 36 games on the road or at neutral sites because of an unusually wet and cold spring in Fargo. That number is heading toward 39 after Monday’s announcement the home opener Tuesday has been canceled. The Bison have logged almost 22,000 miles while playing games in seven different states. They are 23-13 overall and lead the Summit League at 11-4. NDSU coach Tyler Oakes says the Bison don’t get the credit they deserve for being 10 games over .500. NCAABSB – Kansas college looking into alleged water cooler tampering Bethany College officials are investigating an allegation that someone associated with its baseball program intentionally contaminated the water cooler used by the opposing team. Kansas Wesleyan athletic director Steve Wilson said a foreign substance was discovered in the cooler during a doubleheader Sunday. He said it is common practice for the home team, Bethany in this case, to provide water for the visitor. Wilson declined further comment, including whether any players, coaches or support staff drank the water or became ill.
