Big 12 Baseball Tournament play begins on Wednesday, as Kansas State and Houston square-off in the second round.

Postseason play begins in Arlington, Texas on Wednesday as 12 teams continue to fight for the chance to be crowned the 2025 Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament Champions. On Wednesday night, the 11th-seeded Houston Cougars will take on the sixth-seeded Kansas State Wildcats at Globe Life Field. The Cougars finished regular season play with an overall record of 29-24 and a conference record of 12-17. The team brings a two-game losing streak into tournament play after dropping the final two games of a Big 12 series against Arizona. As a team, the Cougars are hitting .257 and the pitchers combined for an ERA of 5.57.

The Wildcats come into postseason play with an overall record of 31-23 and a conference record of 17-13. The team closed out the season with a series against Cincinnati, winning the finale 9-5 after dropping the first two games. Seth Dardar led the offense, going 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs from a two-run shot to right field in the second. Dardar has been a force for the Wildcats’ offense all season and is currently hitting .327, just behind Maximus Martin who is hitting .337. Collectively, the team bring a batting average of .282 into postseason play which should serve them well against the Cougars on Wednesday.

Houston and Kansas State met back in April for a Big 12 series and the Wildcats were victorious, winning games one and two before dropping the finale to miss out on the sweep. The winner of Wednesday night’s game will go on to play third-seeded TCU in a quarterfinal matchup on Thursday.
