Elliot Cadeau Overcomes Allergic Reaction to Join Michigan’s Final Four Bid

A Transfer’s Impact and a Last‑Minute Health Scare

Junior point guard Elliot Cadeau, a 2022 transfer from North Carolina, has become a linchpin in Michigan’s star‑filled roster, averaging 10.2 points, 5.8 assists and shooting 38% from three this season. On the eve of the team’s departure for Indianapolis, Cadeau reported a sudden allergic reaction after eating a piece of salmon coated with cashews.

Medical staff evaluated him, confirmed he was stable, and kept him under observation as a precaution. The reaction delayed his travel; he missed the initial flight but is expected to board a later service once cleared. Michigan officials stress that Cadeau will join the Wolverines before the Final Four showdown against Arizona.

Cadeau’s resilience underscores his “competitive psycho” reputation and highlights the depth of player development at Michigan, where his playmaking and perimeter shooting have already proved essential.

The Wolverines remain on course for a historic run, with Cadeau’s presence now back on the schedule for the tournament’s biggest stage.
