Inside the play: How Nimari Burnett and Michigan beat the buzzer vs. Rutgers

ANN ARBOR — Nimari Burnett called his game-winning shot. Before Michigan lined up for the final play of Thursday’s game against Rutgers, Burnett said he told teammate Danny Wolf: “If you see me and I’m open, pass it to me. I’m gonna make it.”

Wolf did find Burnett open on the left wing and Burnett delivered on his promise, beating the buzzer with a deep 3 to give Michigan an 84-82 win over Rutgers at Crisler Center.
