Around this time last year, Elliot Cadeau was persona non grata in Chapel Hill after the Tar Heels lost to Ole Miss in the first round of March Madness. But this year, he’s heading back to Ann Arbor, Michigan as a national champion and the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament.

The junior finished with a combined 32 points, 12 assists and six steals in the Wolverines’ wins over Arizona and Connecticut to cut down the nets in Indianapolis. The performance came after a scare involving an allergic reaction leading up to the contest against Arizona in the Final Four.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the men’s NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Players since 1979 can you name in seven minutes?

Good luck!
