And when you look at the regional as a whole, I mean, Kansas understands that when you are playing playoff baseball, you're getting good teams regardless.

But do you sense some sense of being overlooked that they fall all the way to the 15 seed, which lines them up to potentially play the top offense in the country in Georgia Tech and the Supers if they get there?

I mean.

I'm sure there were a lot of people that thought Kansas was more in that 12 to 13 range, but here they are all the way down at 15.

Do you think it matters that much to them, a little extra motivation?

Where do you see it playing out?

We're talking with one of the KU play-by-play men, Gabriel Stigers, here on the program, Sports Radio 810 WHB.

Brady Ballinger was not playing in surprise for the Big 12 tournament.

It was Savion Flowers that saved the day in their first game against Baylor, had a really good three-day stretch.

But now it appears that they are going to get one of their top bats back.

Do you expect him being full 100%, or do you see him maybe only being at 80-85, and it's just a postseason ball, man.

It's do or die at this point.

I want to get your thoughts on the bullpen here and how maybe you manage it in game one.

And it's so tough in a regional because you understand that losing that first game, now you're already up against it.

You're in the loser's bracket.

You got to win out the rest of the way or your season's done.

Let's say you're in that situation, maybe the eighth inning.

It's a one-run game.

We all know Bodie Ray is the guy that Dan Fitzgerald loves to go to.

He had that nine-out save in Game 1 in Provo against BYU.
