No. 13 WVU vs. No. 23 UCF: Start Time, Channel, + Starting Pitchers

We're about midway through the season, and this weekend's series between No. 13 West Virginia and No. 23 UCF could go a long way in determining the Big 12 Conference's regular-season champion. The Knights come to Morgantown with a one-game lead in the standings over the Mountaineers, but that could completely flip on its head with this weekend's results.

The Mountaineers have owned the Knights in their brief history on the diamond, having won all six games. Three of those wins came by one run, however.

Here is everything you need to know about tonight's series opener and the rest of the weekend set.
