In the last bracket of his eight-year term, President Obama is picking the Maryland men's basketball team to reach the Sweet 16 in this month's NCAA Tournament. He doesn't think they'll go farther than that, however.
Obama has Maryland losing to eventual national champion Kansas after beating No. 13 seed Hawaii in the round of 32. Obama was born in Hawaii, so perhaps it shouldn't surprise us that he picked the Rainbow Warriors to upset Cal and set up a second-round matchup with the Terps.
The president has a Final Four of Kansas, Texas A&M, North Carolina and Michigan State.
