A Historic Weekend Looms
The super regional series between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas Jayhawks is set to open at 5 p.m. local time on Saturday and Sunday, with the possibility of a Monday start still under discussion as organizers finalize logistics.
Oklahoma’s presence in the series marks its first super regional appearance since 2022. The Sooners secured that milestone with an 8‑7 victory over Georgia Tech, a game that kept their season alive and underscored their resilience.
Kansas, on the other hand, captured its first regional championship in three decades by defeating Arkansas 13‑10. The win also delivered the Jayhawks’ first Big 12 Tournament title in 20 years, adding extra significance to their run.
The Sooners entered the weekend after an early exit from the Southeastern Conference tournament, a setback that only sharpened their focus for the matchup in Lawrence and added a narrative of redemption to their campaign.
All games will be staged at Hoglund Ballpark, a historic venue in Lawrence that has become the epicenter of this historic series, drawing fans from across the region eager to witness the clash of two programs with deep postseason histories.
