Who's Hot

J.J. Redick

Down went the record for NCAA three-pointers ( Redick beat it with his 414th on Feb. 14). Then down went Duke's scoring record-Redick sank a three to pass Johnny Dawkins's 2,556 in a win over Miami. "This is a day I dreamed of," said the Blue Devils guard. Next up: the ACC scoring mark of 2,587.

Kyle Lohse

Twins righty went 9-13 in 2004 and won his arbitration case. He went 9-13 last year and won again. (He got $3.95 million last week.) The first player to win back-to-back cases since 1991, Lohse said, "[It] was unfortunate it had to go to that point for a second year." Well, not that unfortunate, Kyle.

Avalanche Goalies

Not one, not two but three of 'em were starters in Turin. Kazakhstan's Vitaliy Kolesnik (an Avs minor leaguer) bowed out early, but Slovakia's Peter Budaj won his first two starts, and Switzerland's David Aebischer pulled off an upset over the Czechs.

Am�lie Mauresmo

Look out above! No. 2 Mauresmo has won 15 straight matches, and she beat No.1 Kim Clijsters in the final of the WTA stop in Antwerp, to collect $95,500.

NBA Skills Competition

Dirk Nowitzki won the three-point shootout, but only after a ball he clearly shot after time expired was allowed to count. And, sure, little Nate Robinson (right, he's 5'9") looked fly slamming in the winner in the dunk competition, but that was after he'd missed the shot-13 times. Hmm, 1 for 14 from zero feet out. Sounds like a Knick.
