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.
