It's like mother, like son for Illinois freshman guard Brandon Paul.
A scoring whiz who's put up 42 points in his first two games, Paul inherited the love of basketball from his mother. Lynda Paul played at Ball State and served as her son's AAU coach years ago before finally transitioning from coach to full-time mom on the first day of summer school classes.
"I made that decision completely on June 15,'' she said. "That's when I handed him over to coach (Bruce) Weber.''
