Piscataway, N.J. — Junior guard Zavier Simpson has a knack for making difficult things look easy.
One-handed wraparound bounce passes. Running hook shots over the outstretched arm of the tallest defender on the floor. Turning an opponent’s top offensive option into a nonfactor.
And for the third straight game, Simpson has made flirting with triple-double seem routine.
“Fourteen (points), seven (rebounds), seven (assists). That’s incredible,” Michigan coach John Beilein said reciting Simpson’s latest stat sheet-stuffing performance in Tuesday’s 77-65 win over Rutgers at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
“We've been really blessed, and it's probably why we've the success we've had is we've had really good point guards.
