The bracket for the Big 12 baseball tournament starting Wednesday has the Wildcats set to face second-seed Texas Tech in the third game of the day in Arlington. K-State finished seventh despite being swept at West Virginia over the weekend, while Texas Tech finished a game back of TCU for the regular season title and claimed the two-seed based on tiebreakers with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Texas is the five-seed and Baylor is the eighth, while Kansas failed to make the tournament. The Wildcats open the tournament Wednesday afternoon at four at the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field, with coverage beginning at 3:30 on Newsradio KMAN.
