Thursday seems so far away so let's do a pick 'em for the first four.
The first four is a series of play in games prior to the march madness tournament. Select the winners from the following games and a tiebreaker for a chance to win 1000 sats.
Here are your games: Wagner (16) vs Howard (16) Colorado State (10) vs Virginia (10) Grambling (16) vs Montana State (16) Colorado (10) vs Boise State (10) Tiebreaker: Total points scored in Colorado vs Boise State game.
Good Luck!
1,000 sats paid

Congrats. Squeaked out the victory on the tiebreaker. Boise state fouling late to try to extend the game got you over the line.
Wow! There was almost no rhyme or reason to those picks. I just assumed Montana was bad at basketball and undercut siggy's tiebreaker.
You had the same picks as @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears but because it was close Boise state was fouling to try and extend the game and those free throw points pushed you over the top in the tiebreaker. I was a little worried the total points was going to land right on 109 for a moment and I would have had to pay both of you. Haha.
Is that how it works? I always leave a one sat gap with whoever I'm Price-is-Righting, but I assumed a tie-breaker tie would cause a split payout.
In the early days of the pick 'ems I used to say first one to respond is the tiebreaker of the tiebreaker but we never had that issue until the UFC event a couple months back so I don't bother adding it anymore. Since it has only happened once I am not too concerned about it for a 1k pick 'em but with no daily rewards all month my balance is getting lower than it has been since probably my first month on SN so a double jackpot would have been a bit painful.

3/4 but Undisciplined has you on the tiebreaker.
Considering it was almost completely wild-ass guessing here, I'm surprised I got this close!

Quick on the draw. Cruising or docked?
Just docked! One brief shining moment.
Very nice. Enjoy the Bahamian wares.

Nice. I saw a shuttle launch from there as a kid.
I asked one of the tour guides if we could see where they faked the lunar landings. They weren't amused.
Really. That is very cool.
Does Canada launch 🚀 shuttle?
No
