2026 KU Season

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2026 KU Season:
KU is the 14 seed hosting Northeastern Friday at 12. Arkansas and Mo. State are tthe other 2 teams in the regional. Not thrilled to see Arkansas in KU's region given how KU has done against them in the postseason in various sports in recent years.
I think they actually ended up with the 15 seed. Way lower than I was expecting. Big12 was not treated favorably. I thought KU should be in the 12-13 seed range, certainly ahead of Nebraska who they went 2-0 against this year in head-to-head. I also thought TCU should have been safely in the tournament but the committee elected to put Kentucky in who only won 2 weekend series in the entire SEC season.
KU has a tough group of teams in their regional, highest overall average RPI of any regional. Then if they win it they likely have Ga Tech waiting. It won't be easy, they just need to do their thing and win. Hopefully a few upsets along the way make the path easier if possible.

@kjayhawks2.0 I use this for Sox games. https://thetvapp.to/ I don't understand it to be honest, but it works. I can't get the Sox on youtubetv

I really like that KU has kept the baseball diamond on campus. Of course it's been upgraded since I passed by it on my way to classes in 1978; then it was just the diamond and bleachers with about 6 rows of seating. Even though I read the UDK daily, I was surprised by the occasional afternoon game when I was walking by after classes. I wonder if any homerun bombs have hit McCarthy?
-
Ooof. I never realized how terrible Arkansas fans are. They give UK fans a run for their money! Yikes.
-
Great start through 3 innings
-
That’s a winner
-
@FarmerJayhawk some nice records too! I thought I saw 6 tmrw, not sure?
-
A nice win!! I had it on my phone most the afternoon. We will play the winner of MO state and Arkansas tomorrow. It’s important to remember this is a double elimination regional so we have to beat the same team twice pending on how it’s goes. Both winners will play and both losers will play eliminating one team. Then the 1-0 bracket game loser will play the winner of the elimination game.

5 tmrw!

Beat Arkansas
-
I think we may have to have an upgrade for The Hog here before too long. I hope they keep it there on campus

I thought it was great to see Bill Self in the stands. Hey, Lance where were you? I loved seeing all the young children in the stands. Baseball was the only sport kids played when I grew up. Baseball and kickball.

Crafty Arkansas held back its best pitcher, Hunter Dietz to start against KU, according to the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record. (Does anyone still read newspapers?) Let's hope the Jayhawk bats are hot today.
-
@stoptheflop they said lance and wife were there and they also have generously given to the KU Bb fund. Real Deal Devin Neal and gf were there too. Doc was w/Coach Self.

@crimsonblu22 Thanks for the update. I'm stuck with what the ESPN+ announcers tell me.

My Go Big Blue magnet is probably the oldest KU thing I have. It is from the late 60s.

KU doesn't necessarily have to beat the same team twice to move on, they just have win 3 games total and that could be one win against each team depending on how the elimination games go. If KU beat Arkansas today, then Mo. State beats Northeaster and Arkansas today and tomorrow afternoon, they'd play KU Sunday evening and if KU won that one, they win the region having played each team once. End of the day, KU needs to win 3 games to move on to the Super Regionals.

ESPN has Ark favored -166. So I guess Ark will beat KU by 166 runs, right?
