BTN & BTN2Go is airing all of the Purdue Boilermakers? baseball games in the 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament?s Gary Regional. The other three teams in this one of 16 NCAA regional events: No. 2 regional seed Kentucky, No. 3 regional seed Kent State and No. 4 regional seed Valparaiso.

Kentucky plays Kent State at 4 p.m. ET and Purdue plays Valparaiso at 8 p.m. ET. On Saturday, BTN will televise Purdue?s second game, which will be against Kent State or Kentucky in either the winners? or losers? bracket, given the double-elimination nature of the regionals. Should Purdue advance, it will play one game, and potentially two games on Sunday that BTN also will televise, as well as the final game Monday, if necessary. All games will be played at the U.S. Steel Yard, the home of the Gary South Shore Rail Cats.

Michigan State is also in the NCAA Tournament and plays at the No. 3 seed in the Palo Alto Regional on ESPN3. The Spartans face No. 2 seed Pepperdine at 4 p.m. ET on Friday. Get more information on the Spartans' opening games at MSUSpartans.com. And @statebaseball on Twitter is a good follow, too.
