QUOTABLE:Â Â "We had a very challenging non-conference schedule that prepared us for our first inaugural season in the Big South. We look forward to seeing if everything we learned can lead us to our first conference victory at home against a Longwood team that was picked in front of us in the preseason. It's important for us to take advantage of our home court and continue our winning ways in Corbett."Â Â
