Ramalambadingdong surges to the title on the strength of Baylor’s Championship win

Contest Home Page

Updated 4/6/21–Only 12 brackets in the entire contest had Baylor as the National Champion. And of those only Ramalambadingdong was in a position to surge into the lead come the Final Four weekend. Sure enough, Baylor was the dominant team Monday night, winning the title, and allowing Ramalambadingdong to jump into a three-way tie for first place with color2 and pccoit, both of whom sat near the top of the leaderboard for much of the tournament, and both of whom had Gonzaga winning it all.

The three tied at 40 total points after all games were played, so it came down to the tiebreaker of total points in the National Championship game, which was 156. Ramalambadingdong’s guess of 155 points was better than color2’s guess of 158, so he won the title, while color2 took second. Pccoit guessed 150 points and finished in third place. 

Ramalambadingdong wins the $250 shopping spree to SCHEELS, as well as s free growler filled with the beer of his choice at Mighty River Brewing Company. Color2 and pccoit each win a filled growler from Mighty River Brewing Company. (All finalists, please email us at [email protected] to arrange collecting your prizes!
