Elliot Cadeau has become the first Swedish male player to win the NCAA title. The 21-year-old basketball talent, born in the USA with a Swedish mother, became champion in the NCAA with his Michigan Wolverines. Michigan defeated UConn 69-63, and Cadeau was named the most valuable player of the tournament.
Afterward, he received a congratulatory message from former US president Barack Obama. Cadeau thanked the Michigan family and coach Dusty May for believing in him in a post on X. The title, which is Michigan's first since 1989, was also noted by Obama, who congratulated the team on their well-deserved victory.
