It is an interesting present-meets-future day on the diamonds today. Missouri faces off versus Kansas either once or twice on the baseball diamond today (and this really will be the last time the programs face as conference rivals) and in between, Mizzou takes on future conference rival LSU in the NCAA Softball Super Regionals. The stakes are high and getting higher for both programs. A win in either of two games today would put the Tigers in tomorrow's Big 12 Tournament finals (which, if they won, would give them an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, as you probably know very well by now, a win by the softball game would put them within one step of an incredible, fourth straight Women's College World Series bid.
