Ralphie_ has Gonzaga winning. Michael has Gonzaga winning, so win or lose, he can't overtake Ralphie_. Similarly, Bmejnes and yours truly have the Zags winning, and Chris has Illinois winning, And since the championship game is only worth 1 point, and there is no bonus for picking the winner, it appears that nobody in 2nd place can overtake Ralphie_. So Ralphie_ is going to win the 2021 BWI March Madness Pick'Em.
Those of you that I indicated I can't align the entry with a board handle, feel free to identify yourself.
