27 Feb
Summary
- Elliot Cadeau excels as Michigan's pass-first point guard.
- He averages 5.5 assists per game, fourth in the Big Ten.
- Cadeau's playmaking is crucial for Michigan's championship aspirations.

Michigan's men's basketball team has found a dynamic playmaker in transfer portal guard Elliot Cadeau. Assistant coach Akeem Miskdeen sought a pass-first point guard, and Cadeau has exceeded expectations, becoming integral to the Wolverines' success. He currently ranks fourth in the Big Ten with 5.5 assists per game, contributing to an offense that averages 89.1 points. Cadeau's ability to find open teammates and his off-ball movement have been vital, particularly in their recent 77-67 victory over Minnesota. His versatility and understanding of spacing have allowed him to thrive in Michigan's fast-paced system. The Wolverines, ranked No. 3 nationally with a 26-2 record, are vying for an outright Big Ten championship. Cadeau's arrival, along with other key transfers, has fostered strong team chemistry, evident in their dedication to off-court activities and mutual support. Coach Dusty May emphasizes the importance of strong guard play, drawing parallels to successful NCAA tournament teams. Cadeau, along with sophomore guard LJ Cason, forms a potent backcourt that the team believes is capable of a deep tournament run. Michigan aims to build on its success and contend for a national championship, a feat not achieved since the 1988-89 season.
