The Mountaineers’ schedule, which can be found in full at WVUSports.com, will feature 56 games, most notably with 29 of them against opponents who made the NCAA Tournament last year.

Mazey’s club will then head out west for a trip to Arizona for a weekend series from Feb. 24-26, in Tucson, This trip also means an exhibition matchup with Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday, Feb. 27, in Scottsdale. WVU met the MLB franchise in a similar manner back in 2017.
