INDIANAPOLIS -- J.J. Redick, whose 3-point shooting led Duke to a No. 1 ranking for most of the season, was selected the national player of the year by The Associated Press on Friday.

The senior guard was second in the nation in scoring this season, capping a career in which he became the Atlantic Coast Conference's all-time leading scorer and Division I's most prolific 3-point shooter.

Redick is the record sixth Duke player to win the award, with five winners coming since 1992. The award was first presented in 1961.

No surprise here, it's East coast bias. The truth is Morrison was on in primetime only a few times while each and every one of JJ's games were on ESPN at 6 or 8 EST or Sundays on FSN. I'm not trying to take anything away from JJ, but it's the truth.

It's too bad that everyone went overboard with the scoring race, when the best player in the country all along was Redick's teamate.

I don't think there is that much bias to it.You could have gone either way and you certainly could have given Brandon Roy a lot more consideration than either Rudy Gay or Allan Ray.JJ Redick did what he did against the toughest schedeule in the nation(against the rpi).Morrison played against a strength of schedeule rated in the mid 90's.In my completely biased opinion that makes what Redick did more impressive.

They should have shown more Gonzaga games on national TV.We could have seen them play San Francisco,Santa Barbara and Loyola Marymount.I believe those were all really competitive games too.
