Last season at McClennan, Bing had 16 appearances and 11 starts while finishing the year 9-2 with a 3.33 ERA.

As for Oklahoma State, the Cowboys took down Louisville 12-3 on Saturday night. After the win over Ole Miss, Schlossnagle had high praise for OSU in an interview with Daniel Allen of O'Colly Sports.

"It looks like an Omaha, College World Series-caliber team to me," Schlossnagle told Allen. "... Oklahoma State is certainly a team that when you look at them, they remind me a lot of our Texas A&M team last year. Just so, so super physical. There's threats throughout the lineup. Just a scary team to play."

Texas and Oklahoma State will begin play Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. CT.
