Just like last season, President Barack Obama is filling out a bracket for the men's tournament. This year though, he'll be submitting his predictions for the women's field, too.
In an ESPN exclusive, President Barack Obama filled out his bracket predictions for the 2010 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments with ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz and ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke for air on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday, March 17, at noon ET, and Friday, March 19, at 9 a.m., respectively [...]
Said Katz, “After spending a few minutes with President Obama at the White House it was evident he has clearly paid attention to college basketball this season ... [H]e was aware of injuries, star players and key matchups in evaluating the top teams in the field.”
Both of Obama's brackets will be posted online shortly after the segments air, but in the meantime, here are his Final Fours.
Men's: Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Villanova
Women's: Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford and Tennessee
Thank God he is paying attention to something. He certainly is not paying attention to the American people.
Kiss of death for the Jahawks...
Thank God he didn’t pick my team.
It is amazing. I haven’t even had a moment to look at the brackets this week, much less complete them. This guy is supposedly running the country.
I wish Obama a great future in basketball analysis and prognostication. Leave presiding over our beloved nation to responsible adults, please.
Crap he already jinxed Kentucky once..Bad enough Obama babe Ashley Judd is shown at every event, and we’ll lose at least 3 to 4 starters to the NBA, now this.
Here’s to a good run anyway..
From the Vegas Insider: “UPDATED ODDS TO WIN THE 2009-2010 NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP”
Kansas 2/1 2/1
Kentucky 7/2 7/2
Syracuse 7/2 7/2
Duke 8/1 8/1
I see Obama is again not picking Duke like last year.
Go Cats!
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." If that is your mantra, why would you watch college basketball, or any sport, for that matter. Obama should only watch sports where they do not keep score. Socialists are hipocrits.
Great There goes my money he picked Villanova. Is there anything he touches that doesn’t turn to sh*t? Wait do not answer me ...please.
I think Duke may be a little underpriced at 8/1 relative to recent years when they were overrated. This is the best Duke team since 2004.
Syracuse at 7/2 is a bad bet IMO. Kentucky is about right.
Just my $.02.
Great, the Messiah puts my pick in the crapper with Former Governor Corzine, nice.
Can I tell you I don’t give a f*** what this bast*** signs up for. He is a low down scamp.
Sure, go ahead. I always wanted to see what it was like to be a psychologist.
Thanks NObama. Couldn’t you have just picked one team from Kansas and not both of them? Geesh.
Though I certainly hope the Obammunist hasn't jinxed us like he did before the first SC game.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
