Barack Obama hopes Loyola-Chicago can 'keep it going' vs. Michigan in Final Four

We know one person who isn't rooting for Michigan in the Final Four.

The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. An avid sports fan throughout his time in the White House, Obama sent out a Tweet in support of Loyola-Chicago, the Wolverines' surprise opponent in San Antonio on Saturday.

Obama, who served as both a senator and representative from Illinois prior to becoming president, has a long history of rooting for teams from the state. On Sunday, he voiced his support of the NCAA Tournament's Cinderella squad.

Incredible to have a Chicago team in the Final Four.
