After a thrilling extra-innings win over Baylor and a dominant blowout victory against Oklahoma State, Kansas baseball is headed to the Big 12 Championship game for just the third time in program history. Dan Fitzgerald's squad will face a familiar foe in West Virginia, the same team that swept the Jayhawks in a disappointing regular season series earlier this month.

KU enters this matchup at 41-16 overall and one win away from claiming just its second Big 12 Tournament crown in school history. A win today would be yet another historic step for a program trying to make the College World Series for the first time in 33 years.

Unlike most Jayhawk baseball games, this one will be televised nationally for the entire country to watch. Here's all the necessary information you should know before first pitch.

• This season: Kansas didn't fare too well in its lone series against the Mountaineers, being swept in a three-game set earlier this month.
