BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- President Barack Obama likes
North Carolina's chances of winning the NCAA
title.
Obama picked the Tar Heels to win it all in
his 2012 NCAA bracket, which was revealed Wednesday on ESPN. He
correctly picked North Carolina to win the 2009 NCAA
championship.
Obama has North Carolina -- a swing
state in this year's presidential election -- beating Kentucky in the
title game. The Wildcats are the tournament's overall No. 1
seed.
Ohio State and Missouri rounded out the
president's Final Four.
In the Sweet 16, Obama is
picking two Cinderella teams -- No. 5 seed New Mexico in the West and
No. 11 seed North Carolina State in the Midwest.
The
past two seasons, Obama picked Kansas as the tournament winner. The
Jayhawks were eliminated early both times.
