Fresh off winning the NCAA men’s basketball national championship on Monday, Michigan head coach Dusty May is receiving a contract extension.

Athletic director Warde Manuel announced the agreement on stage to fans attending the Wolverines’ championship celebration on Saturday afternoon at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.

“We have already reached an agreement,” Manuel said at the podium, prompting cheers from the crowd and players on stage. “He will be the leader of this basketball team for many years to come.”

Terms of the new contract have yet to be revealed.

The extension is the second that May has agreed to with Michigan in the two years that he’s been the Wolverines’ head coach. Originally, he signed a five-year contract averaging $3.75 million in average annual salary after being hired away from Florida Atlantic following two consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and a Final Four berth.

In his first season, Michigan finished 27-10 overall and won the Big Ten conference tournament before losing in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 to Auburn. May subsequently agreed to an extension that added a year to his initial contract and boosted his annual salary to $5.1 million.

The New York Mets are calling up veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel, according to multiple reports. The team has not officially announced the move, but Kimbrel is expected to be activated before Saturday’s game versus the Athletics. He was in the Mets’ clubhouse, speaking to reporters.

Kimbrel, 37, signed a minor-league deal with the Mets for spring training. During Grapefruit League play, he allowed three runs and four hits in six innings with five strikeouts and five walks.

Concerns about his velocity and control kept Kimbrel off the Mets’ Opening Day roster. The right-hander could have opted to become a free agent but instead stayed with the Mets to build himself up at the team’s spring complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Kimbrel made an appearance for the Mets’ Single-A affiliate on Tuesday and reached 94.2 mph with his fastball, which apparently compelled all sides to consider him ready. Adding him to the major-league roster will boost the value of Kimbrel’s contract up to $2.5 million.

The Mets’ bullpen has been effective early on, compiling a 2.85 ERA in 14 games. But with 43 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings, perhaps the belief is that the relief corps needs more strikeout stuff behind closer Devin Williams.

"We continue to believe he can help us this year; he wants to help us," said Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, via SNY.

"We have a stable pen so far. We haven’t made a move, but eventually we will,” he added. “He’s certainly a candidate when we have an opportunity."

Last season, Kimbrel appeared in 13 games for the Houston Astros and one for the Atlanta Braves. He totaled a 2.25 ERA with 17 strikeouts and seven walks in 12 innings.

For his career, Kimbrel has a 3.58 ERA with a strikeout rate of 14 batters per nine innings. With 440 career saves, he ranks fifth among MLB’s all-time leaders. Among active pitchers, he’s second to Kenley Jansen, currently with the Detroit Tigers at 478 career saves.

However, Kimbrel didn’t record a single save last season after earning 23 in each of the previous two seasons, one with the Philadelphia Phillies and the other with the Baltimore Orioles. That isn’t likely to change with Williams established as the Mets’ closer.

Kent Anderson’s goal in double overtime for Denver prevented Michigan from playing for the NCAA men’s ice hockey national championship five days after the Wolverines won a national title in men’s basketball.

The game-winner came with 7:25 remaining as the Pioneers’ Eric Jamieson spun from behind the net, worked his way back along the boards and found a wide-open Anderson waiting for a pass. The defenseman wristed a shot past Michigan goaltender Jack Ivankovic for the win.

Denver will play Wisconsin for the national championship on Saturday. The Badgers defeated North Dakota, 2-1, in Thursday’s first game at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Pioneers will pursue their 11th national championship in men’s ice hockey. Denver’s 10 national titles are already more than any other program has won in college hockey history.

Johnny Hicks made 49 saves in goal for Denver, including 13 in the double overtime period. Overall, Michigan outshot Denver 52-26.

Rieger Lorenz came close to the game-winner for the Pioneers with 8:15 remaining in the first overtime, lifting a shot that went over Ivankovic but hit the crossbar and deflected away. The Pioneers gained a power play with 2:20 left in the period on a slashing penalty by Michigan’s Will Horcoff, but lost that advantage a minute later with Sam Harris getting whistled for tripping. Neither team could score in 4-on-4 play.

Jayden Perron scored a power-play goal with 8:58 remaining in the third period to give Michigan a 3-2 lead. But just as it appeared that the Wolverines were on their way to a victory, Clarke Caswell deflected in a rebound to tie the score for the Pioneers with 2:46 left in regulation.

Denver’s Kyle Chyzowski opened the scoring on a pass from Kieran Cebrianafter Michigan’s Luca Fantilli turned it over in the Wolverines’ zone. Nearly seven minutes later, Josh Eernisse tied the score for Michigan, pouncing on the puck after Kienan Draper won a faceoff in the Pioneers’ end.

The Wolverines took the lead with under two minutes remaining in the first period with T.J. Hughes rebounding a shot from Adam Valentini and getting it past Denver goaltender Johnny Hicks, left out of position after going down on the right side.

Cale Ashcroft scored the lone goal of the second period for Denver beating Ivankovic with a long wrist shot to tie the score at 2-2.

Michigan’s 28-year college hockey title drought continues with the defeat. The Wolverines last won a national championship in men’s ice hockey in 1998, despite playing in 10 Frozen Fours since 2000. Only Denver has won more national championships than Michigan’s nine.

Denver would win its sixth national championship in the past 22 years with a win over Wisconsin on Saturday. The Pioneers have been to nine Frozen Fours since 2004. Denver last won a national title in 2024 with a 2-0 victory over Boston College. Head coach David Carle would win his third college hockey championship since taking over behind the bench in 2018.
