Obama filled out a March Madness tourney bracket for ESPN.com and he has picked UNC to be the national champions, the same as me.

However, once you hit the sweet sixteen in his brackets, he doesn't seem to have any real cinderella teams, and all the final four teams are #1 seeds, something that has only happened once since the field expanded to 64 teams(last year).
 
He did pick Memphis over UConn, but that wouldn't be much of an upset anyway.

I've got a feeling UNC is going to fall up short, though I don't see too many challenges to them getting in the Final Four. They are most likely in the weakest region, though don't be surprised if Butler gives them some trouble (granted they get past LSU). OU is easily the weakest #2 seed, but could make a run if Griffin is given some support on the perimeter.

UNC all the way. I have a bias.
 
All right, but don't come back here cheering if the Blue Devils win ;)

I lived in Durham longer than Chapel Hill.
Even so, there's no way in hell i'd accept the University of New Jersey at Durham as a legit basketball program.

Oh HELL yes.

They're gonna have some trouble with Ty Lawson and his hurt toe tho...
 
How does he figure Memphis will beat UConn? Who does Memphis have to match up with Thabeet? Dozier? Please...:roll:. Also, AJ Price will eat Tyreke Evans alive. If Memphis gets by Greivis Vazquez and Maryland and then Missouri (and if UConn gets by Washington which will be a tough matchup for UConn), UConn will beat Memphis. UConn is bigger and more athletic than Memphis and will beat the Tigers at their own game. Plus Calhoun owns Calipeiri. Sorry Barack, wrong again.
