Michigan's 'engine' Zavier Simpson firing on all cylinders

Ann Arbor — There has been no shortage of descriptions used for senior guard Zavier Simpson.

He’s the head of the snake on offense. He’s a ferocious pit bull on defense. He’s the conductor who handles the controls at both ends.

And as No. 5 Michigan has transitioned from one system to another under first-year coach Juwan Howard, Simpson has also been the glue that has seemingly helped hold everything in place.

"I feel like it's been going well,” Simpson said Tuesday when asked how the team has adjusted to Howard’s new offense.
