MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University baseball team will play in front of a national-television audience on FS1 when it travels to Texas Tech on Friday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. ET, as the Big 12 Conference announced its TV schedule on Monday.
 
The contest between WVU and TTU will be the first game of the Big 12's 12-game regular-season TV schedule in 2018. Additionally, every game of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship will be televised, with each game leading up to the championship game airing on FOX College Sports (FCS) with the finale set for FOX Sports Regional Networks (FSN). This year's event is slated for May 23-27 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City.
 
Additional television appearances will be announced at a later date, and are made through institutional third-tier arrangements.
 
The Mountaineers will enter the 2018 season ranked in the top 25, as they are ranked No. 22 in the 2018 D1Baseball Preseason Top 25. The Red Raiders were voted No. 3 in the poll, and both teams made the NCAA Tournament in 2017.
