WICHITA, Kan. — These matchups seem to follow Zavier Simpson.

During the Big Ten season, he faced Purdue's Carsen Edwards and Michigan State's Cassius Winston. Penn State's Tony Carr and Iowa's Jordan Bohannon.

Four points guards who are among the best in the conference. And Simpson handled himself well against all of them.

And now in Wichita, with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line, Michigan basketball's defensive anchor will get another major test in the form of star Houston point guard Rob Gray.
