Quiets down Sunday Burnett accumulated eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 22 minutes during Sunday's 82-61 win over Ohio State.

Impact After Burnett poured on 31 points in Michigan's last outing, a dominating 110-69 win over Penn State, he crashed back down to earth a bit against the Buckeyes. He didn't necessarily have a bad game, it simply just wasn't nearly as eye-popping as his output against the Nittany Lions. Still, that game looks like more of an outlier for the senior guard, who's averaging 9.2 points and 2.4 rebounds this season.

Inefficient night in win Burnett contributed nine points (4-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 75-72 victory over Nebraska.

Impact Burnett's nine points were about up to par with what the senior guard has provided Michigan all season, but it took him 10 shots to hit that mark. Moreover, he wasn't a factor on the glass or as a passer, with just one board and one assist. Burnett hasn't stuffed the stat sheet for the Wolverines all season; don't expect any massive nights from the guard any time soon.

No. 2 Michigan HC Dusty May 'Disappointed' After Stunning 1st Loss vs. Wisconsin

Bounce-back outing vs. Penn State Burnett accumulated 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 74-72 victory over Penn State.

Impact After a quiet game against USC in which he didn't hit a shot from the field, scoring just three points over four minutes, Burnett returned to form Tuesday against the Nittany Lions. The senior guard has shot the ball very efficiently this season, hovering around 50 percent from the field, and buried 5-of-7 shots in Happy Valley, all of which turned out to be crucial as Michigan snuck past Penn State in a shockingly close affair.

No. 2 Michigan Snaps McNeese State's Win Streak in 40-Point Rout

Quiet as Wolverines roll Burnett posted five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 89-61 victory over Villanova.

Impact Burnett has now scored five points in two straight outings. Michigan hasn't needed him to do much more, but the guard was cold Tuesday night against Villanova, especially from distance. With how deep this Wolverines' roster is, and with how many different ways they can hurt you, there will be different contributors on different nights, and Burnett is no exception to that rule.
