Duel between A&M's T.J. Starks and Michigan's Zavier Simpson may determine Thursday's Sweet 16 matchup

LOS ANGELES -- With the post players garnering so much attention ahead of Thursday's Sweet 16 NCAA tournament game between 7-seed Texas A&M and 3-seed Michigan, it might be easy to overlook a key guard matchup.

A&M freshman guard T.J. Starks isn't worried about that.

"It may be that I'm overlooked, but at the same time, I just come out and play my game," Starks said on Wednesday. "I think I'm unguardable, unstoppable."

Coming into Thursday's game, he's been the leading scorer for the seventh-seeded Aggies over the last 13 games.

Michigan sophomore guard Zavier Simpson, who drew praise from his coach, John Beilein, will be tasked with guarding Starks.
