FAYETTEVILLE -- When the bracket for the NCAA Tournament's Norman (Okla.) Regional was announced Sunday night on ESPN2, the University of Arkansas softball players cheered as they watched on the scoreboard video screen at Bogle Park.
The cheer wasn't because the Razorbacks saw their name. It was because they knew Arkansas wasn't going to play at Oklahoma.
Later in the show, the Razorbacks let out a bigger cheer when it was announced they will play Tulsa in the Stillwater (Okla.) Regional at 5 p.m. on Thursday at Cowgirl Stadium. The Arkansas-Tulsa game will be lived-streamed on ESPN3.
