Big weekend in Lawrence.

The Jayhawks will be hosting their first regional.

It includes Arkansas as the two seed, Missouri State as the three seed, and Northeastern actually rated the number one fourth seed among all of the regionals.

They will be taking on Kansas tomorrow for a first pitch of 12 noon.

And we're going to talk more about it with Gabriel Stigers, one of the play-by-play guys for Kansas baseball.

First things first, Gabriel, how are we doing this afternoon?

Certainly.

And I guess back then, it was when Kansas really started to take off.

Went on the ridiculous stretch, winning 27 of 30.

It rewarded them when it was all said and done of putting themselves in a great position to win the Big 12 in the regular season.

Their first conference title since the 1940s, all the way back when it was the Big 7.

And then they go on to surprise and win the Big 12 tournament.

And now it's when it all matters.

This is what everybody's been waiting for for probably the better part of a month.

They will send their ace to the bump and Dominic vaguely.

I want to ask you if you think that's the right move from Dan Fitzgerald, because as we know, if they win that game tomorrow, you're either lined up to play offensively

Arkansas, one of the more storied baseball programs in the country, or Missouri State, who has over 100 team home runs this season.

Mason Cook's been very, very good.

I thought maybe they could have gone Cook for game one, say vaguely for game two.

But I guess it's just not the way that Dan Fitzgerald operates, right?
