The Michigan Wolverines' basketball team fought hard in their Sweet 16 matchup with the Auburn Tigers only to come up short as a second half lead evaporated in a hailstorm of fouls by Michigan and clutch baskets by the Tigers.

Following the tough loss, the Wolverines' star players shared their thoughts with media including Danny Wolf, who sounded as if he will head to the NBA, and Vladislav Goldin, who waxed poetic on his time in Ann Arbor.

The Wolverines' strong late season performances and the presence of coach Dusty May have made them a college hoops program to watch going forward, and now Michigan has its likely point guard of the future following breaking news shared on Monday.

Elliot Cadeau, a two-year starter with North Carolina who scored four points while dishing out eight assists and grabbing four rebounds against Ole Miss in the NCAA Tournament, has decided to transfer to May's team according to Wolverines reporter Isaiah Hole.

Cadeau was the 11th-ranked player in the nation and a five-star prospect according to 247Sports.com two years ago out of high school. He averaged 9.4 points and 6.2 assists per game while shooting nearly 45% from the field last season with the Tar Heels, including 33.7% from beyond the three-point arc.

He committed to May and the Wolverines on Monday afternoon, adding a positive spin to Michigan's tough exit from the NCAA Tournament that fell short of their goals of making the Final Four and winning the national championship.
