COLLEGE BASKETBALL

REDICK, MORRISON LEAD AP ALL-AMERICANS J.J. Redick of Duke and Adam Morrison of Gonzaga spent all season locked in a bicoastal scoring race. Fittingly, they ended it as the only unanimous selections for the Associated Press’s All-America men’s basketball team. Redick, the most prolific 3-point scorer in college history,was a repeat choice. He and Morrison were joined on the first team yesterday by Redick’s teammate Shelden Williams, Randy Foye of Villanova, and Brandon Roy, Washington’s first All-American in 53 years.

Redick and Morrison both received all 72 first-team votes from members of the national panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Morrison, the only junior on an otherwise all-senior first team, won the scoring title with a 28.4 average, just ahead of Redick’s 27.4. Morrison shot 43.7% from 3-point range, while Redick hit 42.1% from beyond the arc. Morrison is Gonzaga’s second All-American, joining Dan Dickau in 2002.

This is the second time in three years that there were two unanimous selections. In 2004, Jameer Nelson of Saint Joseph’s and Emeka Okafor of Connecticut were unanimous. Redick is the first repeat first-teamer since Jason Williams, another Duke guard, in 2001 and 2002.

Redick and Williams, a senior center who averaged 18.4 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 58%, are the ninth set of teammates to be selected to the first team and the first since Duke’s Jason Williams and Shane Battier in 2001.

Foye, who averaged 20.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists as the key in Villanova’s four-guard offense, was the third-leading vote-getter, named on 55 firstteam ballots. He is the Wildcats’ first All-American since Kerry Kittles in 1996.

Roy, a 6-foot-6 swingman who averaged 19.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists this season, is Washington’s first All-American since Bob Houbregs in 1953.

GLENN RE-SIGNS WITH COWBOYS FOR FIVE YEARS Receiver Terry Glenn signed a five-year, $20 million contract extension with Dallas yesterday. Glenn’s new deal, which runs through the 2010 season, comes a little more than a week after Terrell Owens signed a three-year, $25 million deal with the Cowboys. Glenn had 62 catches for 1,136 yards and seven touchdowns last season, his third in Dallas. In 10 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots, Green Bay, and the Cowboys, Glenn has 523 catches for 7,726 yards and 38 touchdowns.

PANTHERS LOCK UP FOX THROUGH 2010 The Carolina Panthers have given coach John Fox a five-year contract extension as a reward for taking them deep into the playoffs in two of the last three seasons. Fox received a deal that runs through 2010 and will pay him close to $5 million a season.
