Exited the Rutgers game on Nov. 26 with a knee injury and missed 7 games. Made his return to the court against UNC on Jan. 4 with a gutsy performance of 23 points in 23 minutes.
Last 4 games – 31.5 ppg on 46.9% shooting, 11-22 (.500) from three & 39-46 (.848) from the line. That’s the best scoring average in the country since Feb. 26, peaking at the right time. Also averaging 4.3 rpg, 3.8 apg and 1.3 spg.
Produced 5 straight games of 20+ points in January – first time an Irish player had done so since Ben Hansbrough in February of 2011. Ultimately has produced 20+ points in 15 of 18 games since his return on Jan. 4 and is currently riding another streak of five straight.
Averaged 23.5 ppg in league play which led all ACC players.
His now 22.2 ppg ranks 2nd nationally, trailing only Nova’s Eric Dixon (23.6). The last Irish player to average 20+ points in a season was Luke Harangody (21.8 ppg) in the 2009-10 season. Keep in mind his 2-point Rutgers injury game in which he departed 4 minutes in has brought down his average.
Burton looking to join David Rivers as the only Irish players to average 20+ points and 3+ assists in a season. He would be just the 15th ACC player since 1996. He averages a team best 3.1 apg.
A career high 43 points in 4OT thriller over Cal on March 8, with 21 points coming in the overtime periods in which he was 6-9 from the field and 4-4 from three. Burton’s 43 points were the most by an Irish player in an ACC game and most by an ND player of any game since Adrian Dantley recorded 49 against Air Force on Feb. 10, 1975.
Burton dropped 30 points on 8-19 shooting plus 12-13 from the FT line at #13 Clemson.

Burton has now surpassed Bonzie Colson for most 30+ performances in ACC games with four.
Worked hard on this three-ball in the offseason, going from 30.0% to 39.0%.
