Barack Obama Reveals Bracket Predictions for NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament

Former president Barack Obama carried out his time-honored March tradition on Thursday: revealing his bracket.

The noted hoops fan made his picks for the NCAA men's basketball tournament public on the morning of the first round. As he often did when he was in office, Obama leaned heavily on the blue bloods to make deep runs this year.

He has three No. 1 seeds—Gonzaga, Arizona and Kansas—making it to the Final Four, along with No. 2 seed Kentucky out of the East region. In the title game, Obama has Gonzaga cutting down the nets for the first time, knocking off Arizona.
