// SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
• This is the first meeting of the two teams
• Kansas is 19-21 on the season and currently 3-11 in the Big 12 conference
• The Jayhawks have faced AAC for Wichita State twice this season. Kansas was blanked 11-0 on the road last week and lost 14-5 to the Shockers at home this past Tuesday
• Kansas has notable wins over ranked opponents this season. The Jayhawks swept a home series against No. 20 St. John's in early March and won a seven-inning finale with No. 5 Texas Tech by a score of 17-3
• The Jayhawks are 15-9 at home this season and 4-12 on the road
// CONFERENCE OUTLOOK
• The AAC standings have shifted quite a bit compared to what they were a week ago. Only three games separate the No. 1 spot from the No. 7 spot
• Houston remains in a tie for first (10-5, .667), now with ECU (8-4, .667)
•USF is in third (9-6, .600) while UConn is a game and a half back in fourth place (7-5, .583)
• Cincinnati currently sits in fifth place (8-7, .533)
• Tulane comes next at an even 6-6 and UCF fills the seventh spot in the standings (7-8, .467)
• As of right now, Wichita State would grab the eighth and final place in the AAC Tournament (4-8, .333) while Memphis would be the sole team not making postseason play (1-11, .083)
• The standings are set to shift yet again after this weekend's series
• Front-runners Houston and ECU face off in Greenville, N.C.
• Wichita State plays at UCF, Tulane is at UConn and Memphis travels to USF
// CAREERS COMING TO AN END
• The Bearcats' roster is full of upperclassmen with a few having the opportunity to leave their mark on the UC record book
• Connor McVey is currently sixth in career games played, seventh in at-bats, fourth in hit by pitch, tied for second in sacrifice hits and tied for third in career stolen bases
• McVey needs 12 more hits to jump into the top ten in hits and six doubles to be top ten in that category
• Kyle Mottice is tied for eighth in sacrifice hits
• On the mound, J.T. Perez is tied for seventh in career starts, fourth in innings pitched and is tied for tenth in career strikeouts
• Jarod Yoakam ranks tied for seventh in saves and is currently fourth in appearances
// LOOKING AHEAD
• After the Kansas series, UC will be on the road for its next nine games
• A trip to Xavier on Tuesday, May 8
• The Bearcats return home on Tuesday, May 15 for an 11 a.m. game against Ohio State
• That midweek day game is Education Day, UC Staff Appreciation Day and Taco Tuesday
• UC closes out the regular season by hosting USF in a three-game series Thursday, May 17 through Saturday, May 19
• That Thursday will be a retro logo coaster giveaway to the first 500 fans presented by Formica
• On Friday, May 18, the first 250 fans will receive a black C-Paw t-shirt
• Saturday, May 19 is Senior Day
