The Wolverines have been dominant thus far as they’ve been blowing teams out by 25 or more points in their last five games, including a 28-point victory over the Villanova Wildcats (89-61) inside Crisler Center on Dec. 9.
Two of those blowout victories came against top 21 teams as they took down the No. 21-ranked Auburn Tigers 102-72 and the No. 8-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs 101-61 to win the Players Era Championship in Las Vegas.
To pile on, Michigan defeated San Diego State 94-54 to open the tournament.
Including that victory, Michigan beat all three teams by a combined 110 points.
Cadeau is averaging 8.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game after transferring from UNC.
Lendeborg has risen from junior college to UAB and now Michigan, averaging 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, climbing draft boards in the process.
Although Lendeborg and Cadeau are getting the well-deserved attention, head coach Dusty May, coming off a Sweet 16 loss to Auburn, did some fine-tuning during the offseason.
May brought in Flint native and Michigan’s Mr. Basketball, Trey McKenney, Aday Mara, and Morez Johnson Jr.
Those five ballers joined Will Tschetter, Roddy Gayle Jr., Nimari Burnett, and L.J. Cason to form a juggernaut that has burst out of the gates early in the regular season.
Keep your eyes out for Ricky Liburd, Oscar Goodman, Howard Eisley Jr., Winters Grady, Charlie May, Harrison Hochberg, and Malick Kordel.
Look for the cover boys to keep it rolling on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025, as they’ll take on the Terrapins inside the Xfinity Center at 8 p.m.
