Ken Pom now vs last year entering conference play

[stever20]

doing a comparison between where teams are now to where they were on Dec 31 last year
Villanova 5 now vs 6 last year +1
Xavier 11 now vs 28 last year +17
Butler 27 now vs 37 last year +10
Georgetown 28 now vs 30 last year +2
Providence 41 now vs 50 last year +9
Seton Hall 53 now vs 41 last year -12
Creighton 67 now vs 79 last year +12
Marquette 80 now vs 103 last year +23
DePaul 130 now vs 204 last year +74
St John's 186 now vs 16 last year -170

as a league -34. But if you take out St John's- it's +136 or about a 15 spot improvement. Statistically you would take DePaul out as well- the other 8 teams are up by about 7.75 spots per school. Not too bad at all.
