But then again, one weekend can hardly be expected to turn around a full season fraught with disappointment.
Both teams come into the three-game series at L. Dale Mitchell Park with .500 records on the season – OU at 22-22-1 and K-State at 23-23 – thanks to mid-week wins over in-state rivals Oral Roberts and Wichita State.
Even though the Wildcats sit at the bottom of the Big 12 standings, only one game separates the them from the Sooners in the standings. And if you look at the team stats in conference games only, Kansas State’s hitting and pitching as a team is better than Oklahoma.
