Illini seniors strive for consistency under new coach

For Paul, the key will be consistency. His 43-point outburst against Ohio State, the most points by a Big Ten player since 1994, set the bar high. A two-point game at Nebraska and a four-point outing against Iowa in the Big Ten tournament were another matter.
"It's a delicate balance," Groce said of Paul's shot selection. "Brandon is a terrific scorer. The last thing I want to do is put shackles on him. So I'll swallow one [bad shot] once in a while. I want him to be aggressive. I want him to attack. Brandon wants to be good. He loves the game. That gives him a chance to do special things."
