I think you are just putting your own interpretation on the question honestly. I thought he was pretty clearly just asking does it feel different from last year being that it was both of their first times playing in the NCAA tournament vs. now coming in as national champs.Ironic question to Newton and Clingan about how if it feels different this year than last year. The question wasn't posed that way, but I took it as a question about being confident as defending champs as opposed to last year when they were coming off two straight opening game losses.
I'm not sure there's a guy on this team that played meaningful minutes on those teams and neither of these guys were on the team at all. Maybe a more appropriate question for coach.
