We're playing well, playing with some confidence. It's a great opportunity for us to have a chance to play a No. 1 seed to see where our program is. And I think it's a team that we're capable of beating. Illinois lost in the second round last year to eventual national runner-up Florida. His last Tulsa team made it to the regional final and a 32-5 record a year ago.
Self knows that teams are remembered by how they do in the postseason.
All we've done is set the table to do something special. It's just like a job interview. You work your tail off to get an interview and you're thankful you got an interview. But once you get the interview you've got to hit a home run. That's the position we're in right now.
