It’s the tradition we all love to dissect every year: Barack Obama filled out his men’s and women’s March Madness brackets, and surprisingly, he didn’t pick a No. 1 team to win it all on the men’s side.
But — and with all due respect to the former president — it kind of feels like he’s like the rest of us, filling out his bracket last-minute.
He picked Duke, a No. 5 seed, to win it all, even though there’s some buzz first round opponent Oral Roberts could upset the Blue Devils. This feels like, eh I don’t know who’s going to win, let’s just go with Duke because they’re Duke. I know people who are thinking like that!
On the women’s side? South Carolina. A better pick in my opinion given that they’re the favorites to repeat.
And here’s the funny part: He forgot to fill in one matchup on the men’s side. Oops!
It’s the best time of year! My #MarchMadness brackets will get busted soon enough, but here are my picks.
