My preseason rankings were...
Nova
Xavier
Creighton
Seton Hall
Butler
Providence
Georgetown
Marquette
St. John's
DePaul
So nothing super surprising.
I will say I am surprised how efficient Butler's defense has been. We'll see how good it is against Vanderbilt and Butler's Friday opponent (hopefully Arizona).
EDIT: To be fair, I did expect it to improve a bunch but not this much. Dunham was an atrocious defender his entire time at Butler, and Rosie's defensive style was not ideal at point.
