2011 March Madness NCAA Tournament Bracket

Will Johnston — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:23:58 +0000

President Obama is an avid basketball fan and (as he has done in years past) filled out a bracket for the NCAA tournament. Each morning, we’ll post updates on how the President has fared in the previous day’s games.

March 17 – Top 0.3%, Ranked 17,276

President Obama’s missed two picks in the first day of the second round, which has left him in the top 0.3% of brackets filled out through ESPN. Or in other words, only 1 in 500 people picked more teams correctly.

The President had picked Michigan State to upset UCLA, but he only had them advancing one more round, so it wasn’t a big loss.

However, he did not predict that Morehead State would upset Louisville, and he had Louisville advancing to the Sweet Sixteen, so that was a pretty big blow to his bracket.
