Deft touch has Zavier Simpson's assist numbers soaring

Michigan coach John Beilein talks about his team's upcoming road game at Penn State, and the importance of not taking the Nittany Lions lightly.

Ann Arbor — Junior guard Zavier Simpson wiggled his way into the lane and was met by two towering Rutgers defenders at the basket.

With seemingly no clear shot and nowhere to go, Simpson made something out of nothing. He rifled a left-handed bounce pass that tight-roped the baseline and landed on target into the awaiting hands of freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis in the corner for a wide-open 3-pointer.
