President Obama picks Belmont to upset Arizona

Mar 20, 2013, 5:26 PM | Updated: 5:42 pm

President Obama does not like Arizona.

The basketball team, the basketball team! Yeesh, folks, no need to get political here.

As he’s done in each of the last four years, the president put together an NCAA bracket for ESPN.

And he’s got no love for the Arizona Wildcats, picking them to lose in the first round to Belmont.

Now, Obama is not the only person to think the Bruins are poised to upset the Wildcats, but he may very well be the most powerful.

And for the record, the president has Louisville, Indiana, Ohio State and Florida reaching the Final Four, with the Hoosiers knocking off the Cardinals in the championship game.
