Actually that wasn't the case at all. Last year, Illinois started out somewhat slow, mostly due to a brand new coach with a new system. Then they caught fire winning their last 9 or 10 big ten games and nearly knocking off Duke in the sweet 16. In regards to Paul, he has never been a good defensive player. He gets a lot of attention because he is a very good offensive player. However, all three of Illinois' guards are BOTH good offensive and defensive players and after last night I'm not sure how anyone can say that Wake's guards are on the same level.
