Zavier Simpson's triple-double carries Michigan past Ohio State, 65-49

Zavier Simpson is 6-foot tall and weighs 180 pounds. He's much smaller than Ohio State's Kaleb Wesson, who is 6-9, 270.

But that didn't stop Simpson from jawing at Wesson on Tuesday night, with the two starting a ruckus between both teams with around eight minutes left in the second half.

Michigan basketball's 65-49 win over the Buckeyes was very much a game influenced by Simpson, who recorded the sixth triple-double in team history on Tuesday at Crisler Center. He had 11 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals, exiting the game late to a standing ovation.
