You know what's going to happen right? Since I placed a bet, he's going to have the most spectacular knee dislocation since the NBA player a few years ago on the first jump shot he takes.

The euphoria over this win here is over the top..Brandon Paul is the next Derrick Rose..Illinois should be Top 10..I am guessing my bet of 4 games is good..besides fans patting him on the back.;.he may dislocate his shoulder patting himself on this back..

Say what you like; Paul played one hell of a game against the Buckeyes.

You say that like he was only 21-74 from 3 in the 17 games before that.

He had a good game..but some nut called him the best NBA prospect since D Williams..LOL. Hell Leonard is a possible late lottery pick.. Do you know how many players have scored 40 points in a college game and never sniffed Europe much less the NBA?

Say what you like;

Yeah, we know by now.

He got 20 in a loss at Penn State last night.

Oh, that's right. Sorry, forgot to stay in lock-step.

He got 20 in a loss at Penn State last night.

And a whopping 10 points on 3-11 shooting (0-2 3pt) today in a loss at home to Wisconsin.

OOPs maybe the Derrick Rose Comparisons were premature. Illinois is who we thought they were!

By the way, it didn't take Paul too long.

After scorching the Buckeyes, he followed his performance with:

20 on 5-11 (4-9 3pt) in a loss @ Penn State
10 on 3-11 (0-2 3pt) in a loss vs. Wisconsin
28 on 9-23 (1-8 3pt) in an OT loss vs. Minnesota

So it only took him 3 games, but the Illini went 0-3 and Paul shot 37.8% from the floor (17-45) and 26.3% behind the parabola (5-19).

...Paul shot 37.8% from the floor (17-45) and 26.3% behind the parabola (5-19).

I think rather than parabola you meant to say hyperbole.

Don't bother thanking me; I'm just public-spirited.
