Default Landing -- tail dragger vs. tricycle gear

How different is it to land a tail-dragger vs. a plane with tricycle gear? Most of what I've read in this thread seems to apply to both styles, but without a nose-wheel, some of it doesn't really seem to apply. While applying up-elevator, do you have to worry about your tail-wheel hitting the ground first (which I'm assuming is a bad thing)?
