And they're off, with Texas down

With the Kansas baseball team winning its first two series of the season, here's a look at what's happening in the rest of the Big 12 Conference.
Longhorns fall victim to the broom
The biggest news after two weekends of baseball is the shake-up aton the conference.
In their first series of the season, the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns were swept by San Diego. Baseball America voters took notice, dropping them to No. 7 and moving previously unranked San Diego up to No. 18.
The longshots aren't the deending national champions for nothing, though.
Texas went on a three-game winning streak, including a victory against No. 5 Rice in the Houston College Classic.
Kansas will face Texas this season in Austin for a three-game series beginning May 5.
Another Big 12 baseball power struggles
Texas wasn't the only team struggling to start the baseball season. No. 10 Missouri split four games in the Charleston Southern Tournament, a tournament in which the Tigers had the strongest team on paper. Missouri lost its season opener to East Tennessee State, won its next two games against Charleston Southern and Kennesaw State and dropped the finale to Washington State. 9-3.
Kansas won't see Missouri until March 31, when the team play a three-game series at Hogland Ballpark.
Oklahoma traveled to Edinburg, Texas, for the University of Texas-Pan American Baseball Classic and won its first two games, but was trounced 21-9 in its final game by the winless Lamar Cardinal. The Sooners had to settle for a tie with Texas-
Sooners up and down
Pan American for tournament runner-up. Oklahoma swept Western Illinois in its next series, outsourcing the Leathermen 36-5 in three games.
Leadersckets 30-5 in three games.
The Jayhawks play the Sooners at Hoglund Ballpark on April 28.
Arkansas no-hits Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State began its season in exciting fashion, winning 17-13 against South Alabama in a 10-inning slugfest at Stanky Field in the Jaguar Invitational.
BIG 12 BASEBALL STANDINGS
There has not been a conference game played in the Big 12 yet, but here's a look at how the teams have started their seasons.
Baylor 3-0-0
Texas A&M 3-0-0
Oklahoma 5-1-0
Kansas 6-2-0
Oklahoma State 2-1-0
Texas 4-3-0
Texas Tech 3-3-0
Missouri 1-2-0
Kansas State 0-0-0
Nebraska 0-0-0
Oklahoma State's bats didn't stay hot for long. The Cowboys were no-hit for the first time in program history the next day by No. 20 Arkansas in a 3-0 loss. Oklahoma State managed to end the tournament on a high note with an 11-1 victory against George Mason.
Kansas will travel to Stillwater, Okla., to face Oklahoma State in a three-game series April 14.
Tech winless in tournament
Texas Tech started its season with a three-game sweep of Louisiana-Monroe. The Red Raiders then hit a rough stretch of games the next weekend in the Houston College Classic. They went winless in the tournament, falling to Rice, Tulane and Houston.
Big 12 Roundup
A pair of sweeps last weekend — Baylor over Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M over Northwestern State — rounded out the action in the Big 12. Nebraska and Kansas State are the only Big 12 teams still awaiting the first pitch of their seasons.
