Despite the press and praise this weekend, there are still plenty of people expecting UNI to roll over and die on Friday. The Spartan message board is lighting up with comments to this effect, such as below:
"Here's the deal:
UNI, for the first time, will be expected to perform well. They will be coming in after a solid week of people slurping them and telling them how great they are. They'll be hearing all week about how MSU has been crippled and will be happy just to be there.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a recipe for coming out flat.
State will come out like they did against Maryland-trying to win the game in the first 10 minutes by running, running, and running some more. UNI will try and shoot themselves back in from the perimeter. This time, the shots don't fall. The Spartans win one last game. ET and the Bucks may be too much for this group on short rest and short depth.
It's a lot harder to win at this level when people expect you to. Time to punch in, UNI."
Just some motivation that people many still believe the Kansas win was a fluke. Time to prove them wrong!
