Overview
- Game 1 is scheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark with the opener on ESPN2 and Game 2 at 5 p.m. Sunday and a decisive Game 3 on Monday if needed.
- Kansas will host a Super Regional for the first time after a 45–16 season in which it won the Big 12 regular season and conference tournament.
- Oklahoma reached the Super Regionals by upsetting No. 2 Georgia Tech in the Atlanta Regional and posted 11 home runs, 49 runs and 45 strikeouts across five regional games.
- Key tactical questions include whether Oklahoma can limit Kansas’s home runs, how Kansas will control Oklahoma’s baserunning, and which team gets a quality Game 1 start to preserve its bullpen.
- The series is widely expected to be tightly contested and likely to go three games, with the winner moving on to face the Tuscaloosa Super Regional victor in Omaha.
