INDIANAPOLIS -- Before Michigan took the floor to face Gonzaga in the title game of the Players Era Championship back in November, Elliot Cadeau made a comment to his teammates.
"We're the best team ever assembled," Cadeau said at the time.
Michigan proceeded to go out and beat Gonzaga by 40.
From that point on, the Wolverines were the most dominant team in the country -- and they ended Monday the same way they looked all the way back on Thanksgiving Eve: as the best team in college basketball.
