We had six seniors on that squad. This year's team boasts 10 freshmen and sophomores. However, we are much more athletic this year than at any other time. You've said that you started out at the bottom of the ACC, but now you're on top. I think it's been equally different to get to the top and stay on top.
Every year offers different challenges.
Once you're there, you know every team is gunning for you, and you must be prepared every single night. There are unique pressures to the expectations that go along with being a top-ranked team. There are different pressures that you have when you are trying to win and build a program. I've learned to deal with both types of pressure and must say that I prefer being the hunted. As for cool demeanor, I think it's important for my team to feel comfortable and not see the stress and strain on my face or in my actions.
