Michigan's Final Four preparations hit an unexpected snag Friday as starting point guard Elliot Cadeau required medical attention for a possible allergic reaction. The incident occurred at the team's facility in Ann Arbor while his teammates were already en route to Indianapolis for the national semifinals.

The university confirmed Cadeau alerted medical staff after potentially reacting to something he ate. After being evaluated, he was transported for further supervision as a precaution. The good news for Wolverines fans is the team stated Cadeau is "fine" and will travel separately to join the squad in Indiana.

His availability is crucial for Michigan's championship hopes. The top-seeded Wolverines face an equally formidable No. 1 seed in Arizona, and Cadeau is the engine of their offense. The All-Big Ten honorable mention averages 10.2 points and a team-high 5.8 assists, showcasing his elite playmaking. His tournament performance has been stellar, dishing out at least seven assists in each of Michigan's four wins, including a 17-point, 10-assist double-double in the Elite Eight victory over Tennessee.

This scare comes at a sensitive time for Michigan's backcourt, which is already navigating the absence of key reserve LJ Cason. As a transfer from North Carolina, Cadeau has been a ironman, playing in 112 consecutive games over three seasons. The team and its supporters will breathe a sigh of relief knowing their floor general is expected to be on the court as Michigan chases its first national title since 1989.
