Norfolk State went into the first round of the NCAA tournament as heavy underdogs to No. 1 Florida. The Spartans were as much as 28.5-point underdogs to the Gators, which angered Norfolk State coach Robert Jones, who didn't believe the spread should have been set that wide.
"I know Florida's really, really good, and they run a great program, got great players, but are we that bad that the point spread is like that?" Jones said before the game. "I'm a little angry, and like I said, I'm a little bit more focused and play better when I'm angry."
