Eastern Washington preview

Following three straight losing seasons under Rick Ray, Mississippi State is ready to start anew.

The Bulldogs official open the Ben Howland era against Eastern Washington at 8:05 p.m. tonight on SEC Network as part of a doubleheader with their women’s basketball team.

“This year we’re not taking anybody lightly,” said MSU junior guard I.J. Ready. “We have a point to prove. We haven’t been very successful in the last few years so every team that we play we’re treating like an SEC game.”

MSU went 13-19 season but returns four senior starters including three-time leading scorer Craig Sword.
