Piscataway, N.J. — Michigan was looking to do something no team has done so far this season: Beat Rutgers at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
Seventeen squads have tried. Seventeen have failed.
Michigan bucked the trend and used a strong second half to become the first team to break through with a 60-52 victory on Wednesday.
Senior guard Zavier Simpson led the way with 16 points and six rebounds for Michigan (17-9, 8-7 Big Ten), which shot 44.
