Paul said he will rotate with Richardson in defending E'Twaun Moore, who has averaged 15.1 points in eight career games against Illinois. Paul leads the Illini with 126 Matto points - 26 ahead of the nearest teammate (Davis, Tisdale). "He's almost impossible to catch in the Matto," said Cole, the 2009 Matto champion. It's the Illini's main point guard, however, that has Purdue's attention. Painter loves McCamey's game. "Last year in one game he had 28 points against us and the other game he had 16 assists against us," Painter said. "So he's a weapon, because he can beat you with his passing and he can beat you with his dribble." Weber added, "Matt keeps telling me how good he is. I guess when you see him those two times he played so well."
