Feb 21, 2026; College Park, Maryland, USA; Maryland Terrapins guard Andre Mills (7) collides with Washington Huskies guard Courtland Muldrew (30) in the paint during the second half at Xfinity Center. Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images Andre Mills scored seven of his 21 points in the final 1:45 as Maryland outlasted Washington for a 64-60 Big Ten victory Saturday in College Park, Md.
Solomon Washington put up 11 points and 14 rebounds as the Terrapins (12-16, 4-12) won for the third time in their last five games.
Elijah Saunders hit 4 of 5 shots from beyond the arc, contributing 12 points for Maryland, which made 40.4% from the floor, including 10 of 23 (43.5%) from 3-point range.
Battling inside against the Huskies’ pair of 6-foot-11 bookends Hannes Steinbach and Franck Kepnang, Washington led the Terrapins to a 36-23 edge on the boards and a 16-2 advantage on second-chance points.
Zoom Diallo delivered 19 points for Washington (13-14, 5-11), which was attempting to win its second straight Big Ten game for the first time since joining the conference last year.
Steinbach put up 14 points and Wesley Yates III added 12 points for the Huskies, who made 46.2% of their shots from the field and just 5 of 22 (22.7%) from beyond the arc.
Mills was clutch down the stretch as he made a 3-pointer with 1:45 left to put Maryland up 60-58.
After Steinbach answered with a fadeaway shot to tie it, Mills hit two free throws with 57 seconds left to put the Terrapins up for good.
In the final 37 seconds, Washington missed four shots, including one that Maryland’s little-used Guillermo Del Pino blocked with 10 seconds left. Del Pino recovered the loose ball and fed it to Mills for a breakaway basket with 4.2 seconds left.
Del Pino, making just his third start this season, hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first half.
In the game’s first five minutes, Yates made a pair of 3-pointers, including one which he converted into a four-point play as Washington rolled to an 11-3 lead.
Maryland responded quickly with an 11-2 run, which included a triple from Saunders, for a 14-13 lead.
From that point, it remained close the rest of the way with neither team leading by more than six.

Report: Guardians signing 1B Rhys Hoskins to minor league deal
Jul 2, 2025; New York City, New York, USA; Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (12) watches from the dugout prior to game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images The Cleveland Guardians are signing free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins to a minor league contract, The Athletic reported Sunday.
He will earn a $1.5 million base salary should he make the major league roster, per the report. He still must pass a physical but was in the Guardians clubhouse at spring training in Arizona on Sunday.
Hoskins, who turns 33 next month, spent the past two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers after six seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. He missed the 2023 season due to a torn ACL suffered in spring training.
He has a career batting average of .238 with 186 home runs and 530 RBIs.
He played just 90 games for the Brewers last season, sidelined because of a left thumb UCL sprain and bone bruise. He hit .237 with 12 homers and 43 runs driven in. Andrew Vaughn, acquired in a trade with the Chicago White Sox, took over at first base.

Report: MLS reviewing Lionel Messi's post-match actions
Feb 21, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Inter Miami CF forward Lionel Messi (10) moves the ball against Los Angeles FC midfielder Mathieu Choinière (66) during the second half at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-Imagn Images Lionel Messi could face a suspension from MLS after the Inter Miami superstar was seen following referees through a door after Saturday night’s 3-0 loss at Los Angeles FC, per The Athletic.
FC Cincinnati defender Matt Miazaga was investigated and suspended three matches for “misconduct” after entering the referees’ locker room in 2023 following a playoff match.
In the video, which was posted by Sintesis Deportes, Inter Miami teammate Luis Suarez appears to attempt to prevent Messi from entering the room. Messi escapes Suarez’s grasp before reappearing eight seconds later, joining his teammates walking to their locker room. It’s unknown if the room Messi walked into was the referees’ locker room.
MLS has yet to issue a statement, and its disciplinary committee usually issues decisions — which include suspensions and fines — by the middle of the week following the previous weekend’s games.
Messi has never been suspended for any incident involving a referee, but he was suspended last summer for one match after being a no-show at the MLS All-Star Game. Also last season, he was fined “for violating the hands to the face/head/neck of an opponent policy” after a game.
Messi and Inter Miami are off until next Sunday, when the club takes on visiting Orlando City.

Conor McGregor teases 'no name' foe for UFC comeback
March 8, 2024; Austin TX; Conor McGregor speaks to press on the red carpet before the premiere of Roadhouse at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas on the first day of South by Southwest, Friday, March 8, 2024. McGregor plays the character “Knox” in the movie.. Mandatory Credit: Sara Diggins-USA TODAY NETWORK Former two-division champion Conor McGregor claims he’s ready to return to the UFC, and this time against a “no name” foe.
Sidelined since July 2021, McGregor has been rather vocal about returning to the Octagon.
McGregor (22-6) went so far as to take to social media on Saturday and note that he’s just waiting for a contract to sign.
“It’s a no name up next for me possibly, folks. … I ACCEPT. Send the contract, lads,” the 37-year-old Irishman wrote in a now-deleted post.
UFC CEO Dana White poured cold water on McGregor’s claim, however.
“If it was done and he accepted it, I would announce it,” White said.
McGregor has not competed in the Octagon since sustaining a broken leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in Las Vegas in 2021. His planned bout with Michael Chandler for UFC 303 in 2024 was canceled after McGregor withdrew with an injury.
