Brandon Paul posterizes Trevor Mbakwe

Illinois’ Brandon Paul is having himself a tremendous season. Paul is second in the Big Ten in scoring behind Deshaun Thomas, and has the Fighting illini off to a 14-3 start.

Although Illinois wasn’t able to get past No.8 Minnesota on Wednesday night (67-84), Paul showed why he is a flyer early in the game, dunking all over Trevor Mbakwe. Paul, however, was called for the offensive foul.
