Michigan Basketball’s national title run ‘built’ Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney for bigger roles

The Michigan Wolverines' national championship last season was largely attributed to the dominance of the frontcourt, but the backcourt duo of Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney also played a crucial role in securing the title. As they prepare for the upcoming season, Cadeau and McKenney are set to take on bigger roles and become the leaders of the program.

Both players attribute their confidence and experience gained from the national title run as a significant factor in their readiness for the coming season. Cadeau, who won the Final Four Most Outstanding Player award, expressed excitement about the increased expectations and leadership responsibilities that await him. McKenney, who improved steadily throughout his freshman year and became a key player in crunch time, also emphasized the maturity and work ethic that have contributed to his growth.

Head coach Mike Boynton highlighted the positive impact of Cadeau and McKenney's leadership on the team, noting their hard work and positive energy. As they step into their roles as leaders, Cadeau and McKenney hope to build upon last season's success and carry the momentum forward, both on and off the court.
