OK ...some people hate Duke ...some people hate UConn ...but WHY Redick ? Would they conduct the same sort of poll on Marcus Williams ( laptop thefts ) of UConn , whose team is # 1 right now ? And I ask this as a UConn grad and huge fan ?

Marcus Williams didn't score 35 points against Georgetown (or some other Big East rival) today after not playing well against his team's rival his whole career. Redick did. He was ESPN.com's top story, so he's a victim of circumstance. I can't think of a reason to hate Redick other than that he plays solid basketball for Duke. I don't think he's stole anything but a few basketballs on the court, or is otherwise a criminal. But I don't follow Duke that much and could be wrong.

Cause he's an a**, that's why people hate him.
