PERSONAL: Kinesiology major…son of Harold and Sharon Ray… COACH PFEIFER ON RAY:  “In my many years of coaching it is hard for me to find anyone that night in and night out is a better three point shooter.  His school record, 107 three point shots, defines my opinion with a shooting percentage of 48% plus.  With that said, Joey is not one dimensional.  He can score off the dribble, is an excellent passer and screener and like most of the stereotypical Indiana players understand how the game is to be played.  No question he is a big time shooter, but his other basketball traits make him a superb basketball player.”
