JJ Redick or Salim Stoudamire?

After watching #3 Arizona's All-American guard Salim Stoudamire stroke a lefty jumper to beat #2 Oklahoma State in the NCAA tourney, I got to wondering- who is the better outside shooter this yr? Duke's JJ Redick or Lute Olson's prize southpaw? So I hit the statbook courtesy of ESPN's college site (take note of the underlined numbers):

REDICK: 22.1 ppg, 42% FG, 94% FT, 41% 3FG, 198 FGM, 118 3FGM

STOUDAMIRE: 18.7 ppg, 52% FG, 91% FT, 52% 3FG, 208 FGM, 119 3FGM

Not only did Stoudamire shoot at much higher percentages from 2's and 3's, he made more of each than Redick (which is impressive, considering JJ had 772 shot attempts vs 635 for Salim). SO which guy has the better stroke? Numbers don't lie- Stoudamire in an upset.
