I'll wait and see on Xavier.  Miller is a great coach, but they will rely on transfers to replace Boum, Colby Jones, and Kunkel.  That's a lot to lose in the backcourt.  No way they can be placed in the preseason top 3.

Perhaps you have more Intel about Butler than others, but why is the OP suggesting they'll be better?  Thad is a good coach, but they'll need someone to pop unexpectedly.  Lost two talented players in Lukocious and Bates.

PC is wait and see with the new coach, but the return of Hopkins and Carter will give them a chance.  Udoro from GMU is solid.

Agree that Seton Hall is suspect on paper, but still a tough out in NJ.  They play hard for Holloway.

It'll be a tremendous year in the BE!  I'd bet 6 teams will qualify for the NCAA tournament.  If everything falls into place (good OOC results+ not too much canabalizing), perhaps 7.

Tier 1: Marquette, UConn, Creighton

Tier 2: Villanova, Xavier, St Johns, Providence

Tier 3: Georgetown, Seton Hall, Butler

Tier 4: DePaul
