About Louisville Baseball
Louisville also plays in one of the dominant conferences in the country, the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the Cardinals sometimes struggle to keep up with the likes of Virginia, North Carolina and Florida State, which all are ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation.
The Cardinals finished fourth last year among the seven teams in the ACC’s Atlantic Division. They were picked to finish ninth this year in the new-look 16-team conference.
Louisville’s overall record in 2024 was 32-24, which included a 16-14 mark in conference action. The Cardinals were bounced from the ACC Baseball Championship with consecutive losses to Miami and Clemson.
About Oklahoma State Baseball
Oklahoma State was 42-19 last year, including a 19-9 performance in Big 12 play, which landed the Cowboys between Oklahoma and Texas in the Big 12 standings.
The good news for OSU is that those two pesky foes have since moved on, packing up and heading to the powerful Southeastern Conference.
The Cowboys already proved they’re ready to take over by defeating Oklahoma to win the 2024 Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship. It was the Cowboys’ fourth Big 12 title (2004, 2017, 2019, 2024) and earned them the conference’s automatic bid for the 2024 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.
OSU picked up a pair of wins in the NCAA Stillwater Regional, before ultimately losing its best-of-three series to Florida, 2-1, leaving the Cowboys one win shy of reaching the super-regional round.
Heading into the 2025 campaign, Oklahoma State got the nod as the preseason favorite in the Big 12, earning nine of the 14 first-place votes and landing atop the 2025 Big 12 Baseball Preseason Poll.
The Cowboys also landed four players on the 2025 Big 12 Preseason All-Big 12 Team.
