As the preseason winds down, the No. 20 Cougars are looking to get back to the postseason after missing it in 2016.
With a talented roster, the Cougars are ready to make that next step and play in the College World Series in Omaha.
The team opens the 2017 season with Fan Appreciation Day and the alumni game Saturday with gates opening at 10 a.m. and start the regular season next Friday against Wake Forest at 6:30 p.m.
The Cougar sat down with head coach Todd Whitting to talk about what he expects of the team this season.
