The two teams haven't said much about one another. But both Mississippi State coach Chris Jans and Oklahoma coach Porter Moser have talked about each others' teams this week. Here's what they said:

Moser on Mississippi State...

"We've got to get back up and ready for another dog fight against Mississippi State. Chris was my former assistant. He's one of the best defensive, physical coaches. They've got elite guards and I'll get into that nightmare later thinking about talking about them. I want to enjoy this one today."

Jans on Oklahoma...

“They’re a really good basketball team. They’re potent offensively with great guard play. (Nigel) Pack and (Xzayvier) Brown are dynamic, experienced players who can really score, both individually and together. But it’s not just them. Analytically, they’re off the charts. Top 25 in effective field goal percentage, fourth in the country in not turning the ball over. They get a shot almost every possession. They spread you out, have multiple shooters, and four or five guys with size and confidence. Their five man has developed nicely and knows his role. I really like their team and how they’re playing with confidence. They’re more than a handful.”
