Columbia defeated Chicago A in a one-game final, which featured Kevin Koai (who briefly unretired after being inactive since 2013) beating his former teammate John Lawrence to a controversial hard music tossup on William Grant Still's Afro-American Symphony by buzzing in several seconds after the end of the question, despite them being two of the all-time best music players.[1][2] Berkeley A defeated Michigan State to take the undergraduate title. Jakob Myers led the tournament in scoring.
