Show Notes
Nimari Burnett, a twenty-four-year-old Chicago native, is set to play for the Michigan Wolverines against Tennessee in the Elite Eight at the United Center. Known as a rock by his coach, Burnett has started all 106 games, averaging 9.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. His six-foot-nine wingspan makes him a key player on defense, particularly against Tennessees scoring guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie. Burnett sees similarities between Tennessees style and physical Big Ten teams like Illinois and Purdue. In the tournament, he has shown his scoring ability, draining six threes against Howard and Saint Louis, and contributing with a fast-break dunk against Alabama. Despite fewer minutes on the court, Burnett is all in for the national title push, embodying the teams unselfish vibe as they chase history in his hometown.
