Duke is back in the No 1 spot in the college hoops polls today, following a 4 week period during which they were ranked No 2. Villanova is now No 2 in the country after beating then No 1 UConn.

Sean Dockery said of his team's move up in the polls:

"It means you're having a great regular season, but it won't mean anything once the regular season ends," he said. "What we're trying to do is get better as a team every day."

Additionally, J.J. Redick became Duke's all time career scoring leader in a win against Miami yesterday.

It was just the latest in a growing list of milestones for Redick.Redick set the NCAA record for career 3-pointers in Tuesday's win against Wake Forest, and followed that with his school-record 13th 30-point game of the season.

I think we are witnessing something very special here. Players like this do not come along all the time.

Redick scored 22 points on 7-for-9 shooting to help the Blue Devils to a 59-43 lead at the break. Things slowed down for him in the second half, with Miami's
zone defense paying him special attention.

"As you can see, it didn't help because he still got 30 points," Miami coach Frank Haith said. "He finds ways. He is smart. It is like anything you do, it will work for a short period of time."

He's a senior this year, and he's going out in style. I'm anxious to see what he does in The Tournament.
