Elliot Cadeau Hits Indianapolis Late: Michigan's Star Guard Delayed by Allergic Reaction Before Final Four Showdown

Michigan's starting point guard Elliot Cadeau had to sit out the team's travel day to Indianapolis on Wednesday due to an allergic reaction, but don't panic, Wolverines fans. He's expected to catch up with the squad later that evening as they prepare for their Final Four matchup against Arizona on Saturday.

The North Carolina transfer caught the medical staff's attention before the team left the Player Development Center. According to Michigan spokesperson Tom Wywrot, "Before the team departed the Player Development Center today, Elliot alerted the medical staff that he may have had an allergic reaction to something that he ate." The doctors gave him the all-clear, but out of an abundance of caution, he stayed back for medical supervision while the rest of the team headed to Indy.

The Guy Leading Michigan's Offense Can't Miss Right Now

This is a big deal because Cadeau is basically running the show for the Wolverines. In his debut season at Michigan, the junior started all 38 games and is putting up a career-best 10.2 points per game. But the real story is his playmaking: he leads the team with 5.8 assists per game. He's also one of only three players on the roster with 60-plus three-pointers made and is draining them at 37.7 percent from deep.

Bottom line: Michigan needs their floor general healthy and sharp heading into the Final Four. A delayed arrival isn't ideal, but getting him there Wednesday night should give the team enough time to get right before tipoff against Arizona on Saturday.
