Maryland has hired Buzz Williams as its men’s basketball coach.

The Terrapins quickly moved on after Kevin Willard left to take the Villanova job.

Maryland says it will introduce Williams at a news conference Wednesday.

Willard left for Villanova last weekend after leading the Terrapins to the Sweet 16.

Williams arrives after six seasons at Texas A&M. He took the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament in each of the past three seasons.

He previously was the head coach at Virginia Tech, Marquette and New Orleans.

OVECHKIN SCORES GOAL No. 891

BOSTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin moved four goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record after scoring the 891st of his career in the Washington Capitals game against the Bruins in Boston on Tuesday night.

The 39-year-old Russian has 38 goals this season and is on track to reach 40 for a record 14th time despite missing 16 games because of a broken left fibula.

The first-place Capitals have eight more games left this season.

THE MASTERS WITHOUT WOODS

By The Associated Press

Tiger Woods is out of action with a ruptured Achilles tendon and has plenty of time for social media.

His latest move was an April Fools’ Day joke saying that he had miraculously healed and would be playing at the Masters next week.

He waited six minutes to say it was a joke.

But there was enough reaction to show how much hope his fans still have about seeing a little more magic.

The sad thing is that Woods hasn’t finished closer than 12 shots to a winner in the last five years.

But his presence at Augusta National is still missed.

ROONEY II SEES ‘POSITIVE SIGNS’

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Steelers owner Art Rooney II says there are “positive signs” that Aaron Rodgers will play in Pittsburgh.

“We keep hearing that he’s heading in our direction so that seems to be all signs are positive so far,” Rooney told reporters at the NFL meetings on Tuesday.

The four-time NFL MVP worked out recently with new Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf after previously visiting the team.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that he’s staying in touch with Rodgers.

Tomlin is comfortable with Mason Rudolph as the starting quarterback.

The Steelers allowed Russell Wilson (Giants) and Justin Fields (Jets) to leave in free agency and brought back Rudolph.

Pittsburgh hasn’t won a playoff game since reaching the AFC title game following the 2016 season.

Rodgers is a free agent for the first time in his 20-year career.
