Obama Thinks North Carolina Will Win it all! Not likely but NICE ONE!

Obama filled out this bracket Tuesday for ESPN, coming through on a promise he made to Andy Katz last October when the college hoops analyst interviewed the then-candidate about his brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, who coaches Oregon State. Afterward, Obama invited Katz to play in his traditional pickup basketball game on Election Day. Katz accepted the offer and made a deal that, if elected, Obama would share his NCAA picks with ESPN.

"It was an educated bracket," Katz told The Associated Press. "He knew what he was doing. It wasn't some random kind of pick. There were no political favors or anything like that."

Katz and the president differ on two of the Final Four picks. Katz has picked Wake Forest and Connecticut in his Final Four, rather than Louisville and Memphis. Both agreed that the Panthers and Heels would make it to Detroit.
