MANHATTAN – The Big 12 Conference and ABC/ESPN announced Monday that Kansas State’s Big 12 opener at West Virginia on September 22 will kick off at 2:30 p.m., and be televised by either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. A final TV designation will be made early next week.
The Wildcats are 2-1 at West Virginia since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12 in 2012, winning in Morgantown in 2012 and 2014 before falling to WVU in 2016. K-State is looking to snap a two-game losing streak to West Virginia after winning the first four games as conference foes.
This year marks the second time in the last three seasons the Wildcats will open Big 12 play at West Virginia, while it is the 18th time in the 23-year history of the Big 12 that K-State will start league play on the road.
Kansas State closes out its non-conference schedule this Saturday with a 3 p.m., contest against UTSA inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game, which will be shown on FSN, serves as Fort Riley Day.
Tickets for the game against the Roadrunners start at just $20. Fans can purchase tickets online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets, by phone at 1-800-221-CATS or at the main ticket office inside Bramlage Coliseum.
