Twitter users have been asking Barack Obama to share his MarchMadness bracket
It is that time of the year again. March Madness officially got underway on Tuesday, and virtually everyone, from hardcore basketball fanatics to people who have less than a passing interest in the sport, is busy filling brackets ahead of the first round games on Thursday.
In 2009, when Obama first made his bracket public, he correctly predicted North Carolina would go all the way to the title. The Tar Heels didn’t let him down, beating Michigan State 89-72 in the final to secure what was at the time their fifth NCAA title. Having correctly predicted Syracuse would beat Arizona State in the First Four game last year, Obama then picked number 11 seed Loyola-Chicago to beat number four seed Miami in the First Round.
