New Headline: Elliott Cadeau's "Thump" Reaches Legendary Status in Basketball
Did Michigan guard Elliot Cadeau take a subtle shot at UNC Basketball?
Point guard Elliot Cadeau came up big for Michigan late in their win over Wisconsin in Saturday's Big Ten Tournament semifinal game. With a big bucket from Cadeau, the Wolverines punched their ticket to the title game on Sunday against Purdue. With the game tied, Cadeau missed a three-pointer.
But he got a second chance after a Wolverines' rebound and that attempt found its wa in. After the game, Cadeau spoke on his shot as well as the confidence he has this season while at Michigan. In the process, his answer may have been a bit of a subtle shot at Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels.
โYeah, I feel like the past probably two years of my life I havenโt been wired like that [with confidence through trials], but thanks to my coaching staff, Iโm now wired like that," Cadeau said . "I was wired like that in high school. So, them just giving me confidence, my teammates giving me confidence to just shoot it again even if I miss, they donโt care if I miss again.
โ Ouch. When I read that, I couldn't help but think of Cadeau's time at North Carolina which was the past two seasons. He had some big moments but did struggle to shoot the ball.
