I guess everyone booked one way tickets between all o fthese locations via basic economy late last night or this morning.

Just keep checking periodically and you should see fares drop hopefully. This has happened to me as well, the fares I wanted to book the previous night jump up by the morning. By afternoon or so, I can find a few lower fares. However, there is no guarantee they will drop, so YMMV.
