The situation moved fast, but the response was just as quick. According to a University of Michigan spokesperson who spoke to TheWolverine.com, Cadeau himself alerted the staff after feeling something was wrong.

“The doctors evaluated Elliot and he is fine,” the spokesperson said. “Out of an abundance of caution, he is receiving medical supervision and will be traveling to Indianapolis later today.”

That update brought relief. With such a big game coming up, any health issue could have changed everything. Michigan is set to face Arizona on Saturday, April 4, at Lucas Oil Stadium. The winner will move on to the national championship game on Monday, April 6, against either UConn or Illinois.

For now, all signs point to Cadeau being ready.

Cadeau has been one of the key reasons Michigan made it this far. The junior guard, who transferred from North Carolina, has played a steady and confident role all season. In 38 games, he is averaging 10.2 points and 5.8 assists while shooting over 37 percent from three-point range.He was also named to the All-Big Ten third team in March, showing how much his game has grown.After Michigan’s Sweet 16 win over Alabama, Cadeau made it clear he is not done in Ann Arbor. He said he “definitely” plans to return for his senior year.“I feel like I have different aspects to my game now, just being able to be a threat from the three-point line, being able to be more of a threat scoring just because I have freedom to do it,” Cadeau told TheWolverine.com.He also spoke about head coach Dusty May and why that relationship matters to him.“I like how he wants to develop his players and how he has so much confidence and trust in me,” Cadeau said on March 28. “He believed I was capable in leading my team to the Final Four, and I really wanted to play for a coach like that.”Cadeau added, “He’s a very generous person off the court. When I was moving in, he came to my apartment and helped, like moving furniture up [the stairs]. A lot of head coaches wouldn’t do that.”
