In case you missed it, check out the series preview Kansas Weekend Preview
After back to back walk off wins, the Horns come into Saturday afternoon looking for a series sweep. If the Horns were to sweep, it would be their first sweep in Big 12 conference play this season. The Horns will also be honoring 9 graduates today. Yes, I realize I posted 12 names, but guys that were honored last season will not take part in the festivities (ex. Andre Duplantier). Today's game will also mark the last time that LHN broadcasts a Texas Baseball game and will mark its end as Texas heads to the SEC, meaning this is the last time that Greg Swindell and Keith Moreland will be doing the Texas broadcast together.
