After the final week of classes comes to an end in Lawrence, the Kansas baseball team will hope it continues to play itself into NCAA tournament contention.
Fresh off a weekend sweep over Texas Southern (16-30), Kansas takes some time off until it faces Kansas State at the conclusion of finals week.
The Jayhawks had statement wins in the fourgame slate, defeating the Tigers 20-4 in the series opener on Friday and shutting them out 10-0 in the finale on Sunday.

However, key series wins against Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have given the Jayhawks an opportunity to reach the Big 12 Baseball Championship for the first time since the 2014 season.
After finals week, Kansas will complete a 10-game homestand with a three-game series against
Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown.
Then, a midweek game against Creighton on May 16 will be followed by a crucial three-game series finale against No. 6 Texas Tech.
Securing at least one win in the series could be a potential boost in RPI for Kansas.
Before NCAA tournament seeding is revealed, Kansas will likely participate in the Big 12 Championship, which is hosted in Oklahoma City. The tournament will take place from May 24-28.
The NCAA tournament will begin on Saturday, June 17.

"I had a lot of people turn me down just because of my sexuality," Wantling said. "I had one girl who said, 'My mom doesn't want me to live with anyone that's gay,' and another one that was like, 'Well, my boyfriend might have a problem with that.'"
