Rick Ray, Bulldogs Launch at Troy on Friday

Mississippi State opens up the regular season in basketball this Friday at Troy and one thing that new Head Coach Rick Ray doesn’t want to see is his team coming out of the box slowly.

“I think the one thing I want to get across to our guys is weathering the storm” he said. “There’s going to be a lot of excitement and a lot of hype from Troy due to their crowd. If  we can sustain the first blow and play basketball we’ll be fine” he added.

Rick Ray is in his first season as Bulldog Head Coach.
