Some thoughts from preseason 2nd team all-conference selection, point guard Davon Marshall:

Some quotes from Liberty head basketball coach Dale Layer:
“We got a good group (of guys) back, but every team is different.”
“We will have our struggles, we will have our ups and downs.”
“Our guys dealt with adversity well last year, will they do that with success this year?”
“We’ll go as far as our backcourt can take us.”
Juco transfer point guard “Joe Retic will get some playing time, and I think will carve out a pretty important role for us this season.”
