Pitching will be the key...Kavan and Landry offset each other...but you would have to say the Texas depth pitchers have been a little better than ours. We have the home field advantage and I would expect the crowd to be very loud and excited playing Texas...but agree I would not expect a sweep for either team and 3 close tense games. Also Patty>>>>>Mike White...so 2 wins for us.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Texas series? I honestly don't expect us to win but I expect all three games to be competitive and for us to win at least one of them

I expect the Sooners to win the series. A sweep would not shock me, though I admit I would be pleasantly surprised to see them pull it off.

I believe the young talent at OU is equal to that of the horns offensively, especially with the Sooners playing in front of their rabid fanbase. Defensively, the Sooners are better than the horns. Pitching depth, and possibly speed on the base paths, are the areas where texas may have a slight advantage. But I believe you can expect the horns to implode defensively in at least one game.

Winning – or even better – sweeping the series would mean a lot for OU's hopes of getting a top eight seed in the tournament, as well as getting a couple of byes in the SEC tournament.
