Michigan Basketball: 3 Predictions for Wolverines in Ohio State rematch

Simpson will bring his best

Zavier Simpson is the kind of guy that won’t want to end his career without a win at Ohio State, but as of right now, the Ohio native hasn’t won in the state of Ohio against the Buckeyes and neither has Jon Teske.

So Simpson is going to be extremely motivated for this game and I think we will see the Simpson we saw against Michigan State. I don’t think he’s going to score 20-30 points and that’s a good thing.

Michigan basketball is better when Simpson is scoring 10-12 points, dishing out 8-10 assists, grabbing rebounds and steals and doing all that stuff. When he has to carry the load as a scorer, it’s not a good sign, cause the Wolverines just aren’t built that way and neither is his game.

The Wolverines haven’t won at Columbus for six years but they have won five in a row away from home and just won at Rutgers and Purdue, two very tough places to play. Michigan won’t be intimidated and if Simpson brings his best, which I expect he will, it will go a long way.
