Another interesting matchup: When I wrote Wednesday morning that both Duke and North Carolina needed to win Wednesday night to ensure Saturday's game would be for the outright ACC title, lots of readers e-mailed to say the regular-season finale would be for a share of the ACC title regardless. Obviously, that was true. But sharing a title is not the same as winning an outright title. Don't believe me, ask Ohio State's Jared Sullinger. "It's like sharing your girlfriend or your husband," Sullinger told ESPN.com's Dana O'Neil. "You wouldn't want to share your husband, would you?" (Curious, I asked Dana for an answer to Sullinger's question. Her response: "No, I can't share a man who takes care of two kids, a puppy and a house pretty much solo for the month of March and who only rolls his eyes when the phone rings at 10 p.m. and it's a man calling -- a coach, athlete or coworker. Although perhaps I should clone him.") Anyway, sharing stinks. That's the point. And it's why Sunday's game between No. 10 Wisconsin and No. 1 Ohio State is huge, because Sullinger will almost certainly be sharing the Big Ten title with Purdue's JaJuan Johnson if the Badgers beat the Buckeyes for a second time.

"Any time I make a statement like, "Deal with it", it's always about going to [the next game]," he said. "It has nothing to do with anything in particular. The game is played, it's over, and then you deal with it. That's all that was. So don't try to make anything out of that it isn't. That's just people that have nothing else to do. We just play. I coach. We play."
