Men's basketball star J.J. Redick has been exonerated of any wrongdoing following a drug-related incident that occurred April 1 of this year, Redick's father said this weekend. Additionally, he said, the freshman from Roanoke, Va., has not been punished by either Duke University or the men's basketball program
In the past 12 years, Duke has ruled the ACC in tennis, both men's and women's. In fact, the parallels between the two programs are so similar it's eerie. Consider, the men have not lost a regular season match since 1997 and have won eight ACC tournaments since 1990.

Kate Kaiser is not a member of the All-ACC 50th Anniversary team for nothing.
CHAPEL HILL - Sophomore Peter Shults is becoming accustomed to deja vu when squaring off against North Carolina. In a situation nearly identical to 2002, when Shults overcame a 5-3 deficit in the third set only to win 6-7, 6-4, 7-5, Shults played past a sluggish start to pull out another three-set nailbiter in the sixth singles slot, giving the men's tennis team a 4-3 victory over the Tar Heels.
When the No. 2 women's basketball team began the NCAA Tournament, the onus it was lugging was heavier than any the program had every carried. As such, Duke's offense has withered since the Blue Devils took on No. 16 seed Georgia State in the tournament's opening round. And though Duke's defense has picked up its energy since postseason play began, Duke's shooting troubles are somewhat of an anomaly.
CHAPEL HILL -- Did you hear that, Mr. Doherty?
Rarely do opponents in any sport travel to Palo Alto, Calif., and come away with a win, but the No. 3 women's lacrosse team did just that Saturday with a 12-7 defeat of Stanford (6-2).
RALEIGH -- Word circulated quickly through Reynolds Coliseum prior to tipoff yesterday: Alana Beard's status in Duke's second round matchup against No. 8 seed Utah was questionable because of a sprained ankle. Beard had not participated in a team shootaround earlier in the day, and had been up much of the night icing her ankle for 20 minutes every hour. But was there ever really any doubt the two-time All-American would play?
RALEIGH - Kim Smith is the best women's basketball player about whom no one has heard.
RALEIGH -- As Georgia State's hopes of stealing a win from the top-seeded Blue Devils faded, Lindsey Harding slammed the door on the Lady Panthers with a steal of her own.
Duke lore has always glorified a Duke-Princeton connection. As the story goes, when James B. Duke offered $6 million to "establish an institution of learning to be known as Duke University," his private estate was near Princeton's campus. Mr. Duke greatly admired the architecture at the nearby school, and therefore when Duke's campus was designed, the buildings took a very Princetonian flavor.
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Duke-bound high school All-Americans Alison Bales and Brittany Hunter squared off against each other last Friday night, with Bales' team prevailing in an 88-82 overtime thriller in the big-school Ohio girls state semifinals. Bales, a 6-foot-6 center from Beavercreek High School, overcame a slow start to score 20 points, 16 of which came after halftime.
One of the brightest spots of the 2002 football season, first-team All ACC defensive end Shawn Johnson, has announced his decision to transfer.
CHAPEL HILL -- Unfortunately, even after another epic Duke-UNC thriller, people will continue to downplay the greatness of the Tobacco Road rivalry. But as President George W. Bush would say, "Make no mistake:" It does not get any better than Blue Devils and Tar Heels battling it out on the hard court.
N.C. State (14-8, 7-4 in the ACC) comes to Durham Saturday at 4 p.m. in yet another pivotal ACC matchup, as the No. 8 Blue Devils (18-4, 8-4) will look to solidify their place at the top of the conference standings.
In an age when college sports are riddled with disgruntled and impatient athletes that would sooner transfer to other schools than compete for playing time, Drew Nicholas is an anomaly. A 6-foot-3 senior guard out of Hempstead, N.Y., Nicholas' role has changed drastically in his time at Maryland--from serving as backup to All-America guard Juan Dixon the past three seasons, to his current distinction as the second-leading scorer in the ACC with 18 points per game.
The women's lacrosse team proved why it is a preseason favorite to win the 2003 national championship as they ran the tables at an all-day exhibition event, the South of the Border Tournament--which was hosted by Duke and North Carolina, respectively.
