Yes to both points. I agree... I looked at the BE pdf and it clearly says if the teams' records are the same and head to head they split, you go through the standings by conference record -- or groups -- to do the next calculation. This is in my post to Marsh this morning.
 
AS to bracketing, I see what you mean by THAT DAY ... It almost makes sense the way you describe it... except that, as a 1 seed overall, SU earned the right to play in a bracket with the lowest seeded teams (no matter when the teams play). That's only fair, byes notwithstanding, because why should Marquette (a lower seed) get to play in a bracket with the 1oth seed when we have to play the 9th seed? (The double byes muck everything up).
 
And while I'm on the subject of Marquette, let me just say -- it's getting pretty hard to watch the Buzz Williams show. Tough team, yes. Jay Crowder /Johnson (scr)odem, tough players, no doubt. But Buzz's "us against the world" schtick is a bit tired after 3 months, especially watching him standing 3-4 feet on-court and turning a timeout into a '99%' encampment. Then there's the post-game (in your face) dancing routine -- that's downright immature. You're "happy", yes, Buzz, we get that. But you're also (supposedly) not 13. Dance with your wife at home and save us the display -- and btw your moves suck.
 
Somebody needs to administer a beat down to that team, so they stop hacking everyone and then talking smack. Marquett is the new Pitt.
