Move over Jay Bilas, Charles Barkley and Nate Silver.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has a full-time job, but she could moonlight as a college basketball prognosticator judging by her most recent NCAA men’s and women’s tournament predictions.
Durkan, an avid basketball fan, correctly picked the Notre Dame women and Villanova men to win the national championship in brackets posted on her Twitter account last month.
The Villanova men were ranked No. 2 nationally heading into the postseason, and were regarded as legitimate contenders for the national title. The Notre Dame women were the No. 1 seed in the Spokane region, but were ranked fifth nationally going into March Madness, and few would have picked them over undefeated UConn (then 32-0) to win the national championship.
