Zavier Simpson exploded for 32 points in a home loss to Wisconsin last night 81-74. Michigan was without Brooks with a broken nose and Livers struggled with only 9 points. Wager played well in the 2nd half and finished with 17. The issue is no other Wolverine had more then 7 points.
Wisconsin beat the Wolverines by contesting the 3 and shooting the lights out of Crisler. Wisconsin shot 63% in the first half and 44 % in the second. The Badgers also shot 58% from 3, while Michigan shot only 30% from deep.
Michigan will learn from this game but it will hurt their Big Ten Tournament standing.
