Mike Ringgold and Novar Gadson scored 21 points each, and Rider pulled off the first big upset of the season by beating No. 18 Mississippi State 88-74 on Friday night. The Broncs drove to the basket relentlessly and hit 62.5 percent of their 3-point shots to knock off lifeless Mississippi State on the night the Bulldogs (0-1) received their 2008-09 Southeastern Conference championship rings.
