3. ME TOO! I have UNC beating Louiseville for title

and final 4 of UNC vs. Duke and Louiseville vs. UConn.

I wanted to put Memphis in final 4 and probably should have knowing Calipari.

So far, Obama has 100% picked teams from states he either barely won or were "battleground" wins. Pennsylvania and N. Carolina. He can always hope NBA championship involves Denver vs. Boston so he can pick a battle ground team to win without peeving off some other battleground state. lol.

4. Coach K disses Obama's basketball picks

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby


WASHINGTON (CNN) – Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski isn't thrilled his team got snubbed by the leader of the free world.

"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Krzyzewski told a reporter from the Associated Press on Wednesday.

The president filled out his NCAA bracket for ESPN on Tuesday, and the Blue Devils weren't among his Final 4 picks. Instead, he has Coach K's squad falling to Pittsburgh in the Elite 8.

Obama's pick to win the Big Dance? Duke's archrival, the University of North Carolina.

5. I want Duke

but that is only because my daughter and Nolan Smith are friends. They went to high school together and he is a nice young man.

8. He's wrong, of course

Louisville is going to win it all.

Can't wait to see the heads of UK fans explode when that happens.
