I think you're doing great. I'm just trying to keep up. Based on the tie-breaker (SHU/UConn have the same records), the next step is head to head (they split against each other), then (step #2) go down the list from the top seeds matching records.
 
Assuming winning percentage (against the group?) doesn't apply, I think your analysis is sound. You took each group in the BE standings all the way down.
 
I guess that means we might have 2 play Uconn again ... assuming they make to our game. But this generates an interesting question -- we're the top seed -- so why are we playing the 9th seed (instead of the lower seed, the 10th seed)? Usually, the highest seeds play the lowest seeds. The way this bracket sets up, Marquette (overall 2) gets to play a lower seed (10 seed) than we do (9 seed). Hmmmm.
If the BET is bracketed the same way as the NCAAs, the top seed should face the lowest seeds in each bracket. That would mean we play SHU (1 v 10) not higher-seeded UConn (1 v 9), and Marquette would get stuck with UConn (2 v 9).
 
Just saying.
