Despite the fact that K?State is playing the No. 1-ranked team in the nation, head coach Suzie Fritz played it off as just another game.

The Wildcats (13-3) won't overlook No. 1 Nebraska (12-0) today when they travel to Lincoln for a 7 p.m. tip-off, but they won't need any special preparation for them either.

"We prepare for everybody exactly the same no matter who we play, be it home or away," Fritz said. "We don't change what we're doing just because it's Nebraska or Kansas or Iowa State."

Fritz ranked this Husker team at the top of the Nebraska squads she has seen.

"They are physical, they have four legitimate All-Americans on the floor, and I think it's probably the best Nebraska team I have seen," Fritz said.

While Nebraska could be the toughest test of the season for the Wildcats, K-State still will play its style.

For the Wildcats to be successful against the Huskers, they will have to slow down the offensive attack of Nebraska.

"They are a very, very physical team, so we're going to have to play wonderful defense to try to slow them down," Fritz said. "We're going to find out whether we are a good defensive team I think."

Fritz said she hopes her team will continue its intensity as it faces Nebraska.

"I hope they get up for every match, that is what we're striving for is to not gang up on one and save it all up for one opponent," Fritz said. "I hope that they get excited about playing volleyball every time out."

While she held strong to her belief of treating every opponent equally in preparation, Fritz did mention her players understand the importance of Nebraska volleyball.

"I suspect that they understand the tradition of or the history of Nebraska volleyball," said Fritz. "It doesn't matter who is on the other side of the net for us."
