@CoachOakMSU @HailStateBB If this team plays with the grit and toughness MS State baseball is known for we won’t have to worry about the Wins and Losses.

@CoachOakMSU @HailStateBB I have a short term goal and it’s because of a consistent problem with the previous staff. Let’s don’t wait until the season is 1/2 over, or later, to be decent on defense. And I believe this staff will fix that problem.

"They're tough. They're absolute warriors, the two of them." Love this clip from Mississippi State coach Brian O'Connor. You can see how much he believes in the Valincius brothers — Tomas and Vytas — and the respect he has for their family. And today, both delivered.

Sometimes, a coach loses a game, much less a regional final, and they're ready to hit the showers, hit the road, and not talk much. It was refreshing to see Louisiana's Head Coach Matt Deggs, who'd just lost 19-5 to Mississippi State, after playing in mid 90s temps earlier in the afternoon just to get the opportunity, willing to talk about the game, his team, and even his expectations for next year. If you're fans of Mississippi State and its Head Coach Brian O' Connor, he will remind you of the same candor, plain-spoken-but-well-spoken type of coach who has both affection for his players but expectations of what he asks and demands of them. This is a coach whose team survived multiple elimination games at the Sun Belt tournament, played at all hours and even multiple locations last week, winding up in the championship game. And when offered a chance to deflect the lopsided score with the drain his team might have faced having only a short while after gutting out a win over 2-seed Cincinnati 8-6, he said his team wasn't tired, though. They just ran out of pitching. And, his analogy that "they were going to have to kill us, and they did" was a tip of the cap to his opponent, whom he deemed worthy of a long run in Omaha. Anyway, let's let Coach Deggs say that, and so much more, in his own words. Write it down now, they look like a team to watch in the Sun Belt for 2027. And, since this was the last game of the Starkville Regional, we'll remind you again the video is courtesy of NCAA Baseball and Mississippi State Baseball, with additional editing by College Baseball Central.
