A year ago, when we should have been watching the NCAA tournament to see who would win the Glimm 2020 Memorial Pool, most of us were instead stuck at home, locked down at the start of the pandemic.

Not Shannon Ceglinsky. Ceglinsky, a registered nurse who works at Baylor, Scott & White Hospital in the DFW area, continued working, treating patients – including many with COVID. She got COVID herself in June, and made a successful recovery.

So when the Glimm returned in 2021, she knew what to do.

“My strategy this year?” Ciglinsky said. “Easy really: Pick my hospital’s namesake and never look back.”

When Baylor beat Gonzaga in the championship game on Monday night, the strategy paid off — and the Glimm 2021 NCAA Tournament Pool couldn’t have a more deserving champion.

Ceglinsky’s self-titled bracket finished with 132 points, a half-point ahead of Michael Hermann’s Pancakes bracket. Paul Mordarski’s Mordyusa2 finished in third with 129.5 points.

Ceglinksy’s bracket appeared to be busted early: After the first round, she was in 42nd place, and one of her Final Four teams, Texas, had already lost. In the second round, Oklahoma State, another Final Four team, fell.

But Baylor and Gonzaga kept winning. All top-three finishers picked Baylor over Gonzaga in the championship game.

Shannon is the second Ceglinsky to win the Glimm. In 2015, her then-two-year-old daughter, Sophia, won.

Seth Rubinroit wasn’t as fortunate as Ceglinsky – he put too much faith in his alma mater, USC. The Trojans made a surprising Elite Eight run, but Rubinroit picked them to win the whole tournament, and he finished in 248th place.

Luckily for Rubinroit, USC didn’t make the women’s tournament, or he likely would have made the same mistake. Instead, he titled his women’s bracket Why isn’t USC in this??, and picked Stanford to win. That worked out pretty well: Top-seeded Stanford edged Arizona in the championship game, and Rubinroit won the inaugural Women’s Glimm.

Jack Otter’s Olives2 and Lauren Kimball’s LK3 finished second and third.

In other awards:

Eli Lester pulled off a double win: Baylor’s win put his Eli bracket in 10th place overall — good enough to beat Hana Miller for the Kids Championship and to beat all of his family members to win the Glimm Scholarship.

The Orlov, awarded to the 139th place finisher, came down to the tiebreaker: Jason Eckerling’s Eck #2, Adam Gould’s Mitchapalooza and Christian Mordarski’s dowski bracket all finished with 80.5 points, tied for 137th place. To determine 139th, we had to look at who did worst in the tie-breaker — and Mordarski’s 100-point tiebreaker gets those honors.

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for Kendall Gregor that day
She picked two longshots in the Glimm, and Gonzaga stood in the way
When Ohio State died in the first, and Michigan State did the same
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game

A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to the hope which springs eternal in the human breast
They thought, “If only an 8-year-old can manage to win the Glimm
That proves that any of us could actually win this thing.”

Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a rusty yell
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell
It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the fort
For UCLA, mighty UCLA, was advancing on the court

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout
But there is no joy in Glimmville — Kendall Gregor is now out

That’s right: With UCLA’s heartbreaking loss to Gonzaga, 8-year-old Kendall Gregor’s magic run is over. She can’t win the Glimm. She can’t even win the Kids Championship.

The Glimm is down to two: Curtis Benham’s Sparty72 (if Gonzaga wins) and Shannon Ceglinsky’s ShannonCeglinsky (if Baylor wins).

In the women’s tournament, Seth Rubinroit’s Why isn’t USC in this will win if Stanford wins, and Lauren Kimball’s LK2 wins if Arizona wins.

We’ll have a full run-down of all the winners after the championship games.

For a six-year-old, it didn’t seem like a bad bracket: Two No. 1 seeds and a No. 2 seed in the Final Four seemed like a good bet to get at least a middle-of-the-road, Orlov competitor finish. Surely not all of those teams would collapse, right?

Alas, Asa Kleinbaum put too much faith in the Big Ten in his Voty Goty Mac and Cheese bracket. Illinois and Ohio State saw early exits. Ohio, his darkhorse Final Four pick, scored an impressive first-round upset but went no further. When Asa’s other picks in general fell flat (he picked less than a quarter of the games correct overall), his hopes to climb out of the basement rested with one team: Michigan.

Asa, like many of us, saw his hopes collapse late Tuesday night, when UCLA beat Michigan. Voty Got Mac and Cheese finished with 38 points, clinching last place in the Glimm. Asa receives his Pity Prize: He gets his $5 back.

“Wait, so I get $5?” Asa said Wednesday morning after learning of his fate. “I’m the buffest!”

Asa’s misfortune (or fortune?) was Kendall Gregor’s gain. Eight-year-old Kendall’s kgregor bracket moved back into first place thanks to UCLA’s win, and continues to lead both the overall Glimm and the Kids Championship.

The Glimm is still wide open, though: With eight possible scenarios left, seven people can win outright: Kendall, Bob Connor’s Upset City, Ramona Shelburne’s Dragonfly, Doug Sweet’s Yahtzee, Brent Hopkins’ UCLATER, Curtis Benham’s Sparty72 and Shannon Ceglinsky’s Shannon Ceglinsky. Seven others have a chance to finish in the top three.

In the Kids Championship, we’re down to three contenders: Kendall, Eli Lester’s Eli and Hana Miller’s It’s March and I’m Mad.

And there’s an interesting contender for the Glimm Scholarship: Mrs. Glimm herself, Marion Glim. If Houston beats Baylor, her Grandma G bracket passes her grandson Owen and son-in-law Rich for the family lead.

In the women’s tournament, Paul Mordarski’s Mordy12 2 bracket remains in the lead, but his chances of winning are slim: He’d need Arizona to beat South Carolina in the championship game to have as hot. Otherwise, Lydia Mordarski’s lydiausa1, Lauren Kimball’s LK2 and LK4 and Seth Rubinroit’s Why isn’t USC in this? brackets are in the best shape.

Full men’s standings are here, and full women’s standings are here.

We’re one-third of the way through the Glimm, which means it’s a good time to look beyond the main event.

Sure, we still care about the big prize: Mike Mahoney reclaimed the lead late Monday thanks to USC’s victory over Kansas. Mahoney’s MizzouTgr11 1 bracket’s upset approach, which put him in first place after the first round, continued to be effective, giving him 65 points. But how long will it last? He’s already lost five of his Elite Eight teams and two of his Final Four teams.

Jordan Brenner’s JBrenner bracket (64.5 points) and Ramona Shelburne’s Dragonfly bracket (64) lurk just behind, although Brenner already lost his champion, Illinois. Shelburne has her entire Final Four intact.

In fact, 62 Glimmers still have a shot at the championship, and 93 have a shot at finishing in the top three.

But even for the other 185 of you, there’s a lot at stake:

The Kids Championship: After two rounds, Kendall Gregor and Zoe Sevilla are tied for first in the Kids Championship with 61.5 points. Eli Lester, JoJo Kleinbaum and Eden Lazarus round out the top five.

The Pity Money: Pete Catapano’s PeteCat2 bracket is in last place with 27 points, but he still has all Final Four teams alive, so he’s got room to move. In fact, the Pity Money race is wide open: The bottom four all have at least two Final Four teams alive.

The Orlov: Eight people are tied for 137th place right now. As we know, the Orlov goes to the 139th-place finisher, so if the tourney ended today, the Orlov would come down to a tiebreaker.

The Glimm Scholarship: Owen Lester is in 5th Place overall, leading all relatives of Mrs. Glimm.

The Women’s Tournament: Stephanie Kleinbaum’s Mrs. Banana bracket is in first place in the Women’s Tournament with 270 points midway through the second round. Paul Mordaski is in second, with 260 points.

Important note on the women’s tournament: If you entered, please shoot me an email with your bracket name. Some are obvious, but others less-so, and ESPN doesn’t make it easy to figure out who everyone is.

Glimm champions run the gamut of basketball knowledge. Some know little about college basketball and barely follow the sport, like 2013 champ Adam Kleinbaum and the tournament’s namesake, 1995 champ Mrs. Glimm. Others are experts, spending careers watching sports, like 2009 champion Ramona Shelburne and 2007-08 two-time champ Erik Boal. Some fall in between, like last year’s champion, Nina Lin, who vacillates between claiming to know nothing about college basketball and claiming to be an expert.

Your 2019 champion falls closer to the expert category. Mike Lazarus has spent more than a decade managing sports products for Yahoo. For years, he did his own bracketology, predicting which teams would be included in the tournament and their exact seeds before the brackets were released. He knows his college basketball.

Lazarus finally converted that expertise into Glimm glory. Thanks to Virginia’s victory in yesterday’s NCAA championship game, Lazarus’ MikeLaz Bracket finished with 134 points, three points ahead of Sean Bear 1. Ottomatic #2, which would’ve finished in first place if Texas Tech beat Virginia, settled for third.

The loss was devastating to Ottomatic, aka Otto Kern, who was not just playing for himself but for the entire Kern klan. The Kern family has been a Glimm mainstay for years, as many Kerns followed Michigan alum Mike into the pool. Nine entered this year, including Otto, Mike’s father. No Kern has ever come close to winning the Glimm, but Otto picked Texas Tech on a whim, and the Red Raiders nearly carried him to the title.

The tightest race was for the Orlov, which is awarded to the 159th place finisher. Three brackets were tied for 158th, so it came down to whoever finished in second place in the tiebreaker. That ended up being Dan Stamm’s Woford and Buffalo bracket.

Richard Lester claimed the Glimm Scholarship for the second consecutive year when his Son-in-law bracket finished in 42nd place, best among all relatives of Mrs. Glimm. Lester will get a free entry to the 2020 Glimm.

And as for Nina Lin, the 2018 winner? Despite her vacilations, the evidence suggests she does know a thing or two about college basketball. She struggled in the later rounds, but overall, her It’s 5 p.m. Somewhere bracket picked 77.8% of the games correctly, tops in the entire pool.

Your 2019 Winners:
Glimm Champion: Mike Lazarus
Kids Champion: Brooklyn Rados
The Orlov: Dan Stamm
Glimm Scholarship Recipient: Richard Lester

Call in the Elimination Round. Entering the Sweet 16, 155 Glimmers hung onto hope of winning the Glimm Memorial NCAA Tournament Pool. Eight games letter, that number is down to 25. The chances of the other 130 fell with likes of North Carolina, Michigan and Tennessee.

And that includes Glimm commissioner Josh Kleinbaum. After leading the Glimm for most of the last week, the Sweet 16 was devastating to Kleinbaum’s Tim Whatley bracket. He lost three of his Final Four teams and fell to 7th place, and his Glimm drought will continue.

Rising to first place is 2016 champ Kate Lord, whose Go To Hell Dook 5 bracket has 97 points. That bracket is the only in the top 10 to still have all Final Four teams still alive.

Lord is just ahead of Sean Ceglinsky (96.5 points), My Biased Purdue Bracket (Mike Perugini, 94), Fear the Turtle (Nelson Hsu, 93.5), It’s 5 p.m. Somewhere (defending champ Nina Lin, 93.5) and 3-0 (Kevin Benham, 93.5). But the Elimination Round even hit this top group of six: Ceglinsky, Hsu and Lin can all finish in the money, but they can’t win the whole thing.

The longest of long shots still alive? That’s Jeff Keating’s jkedit2, in 137th place. But if Auburn beats Duke in the championship game, Jeff has a chance.

Over in the kids bracket, Brooklyn Rados’ TheDodgerFans bracket moved into first place 11th overall), ahead of Audrey Rosenberg (36th overall), Eden Lazarus’ Eden’s Bracket (47th), Quentin Sweet’s Qball (78th) and Emili Miller’s Poop on a sticky (116th).

The Elite Eight begins tonight.
