President Barack Obama spoke with ESPN yesterday about that basketball bracket thing people do in March. Apparently if you go to ESPN.com you can see a video of the president filling out the paperwork. Here's part of what ESPN sent me about it:Quotes from Interviews with Andy Katz & Doris Burke President Barack Obama is picking Kansas to defeat Kentucky in the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game April 5 and Connecticut to beat Stanford in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship April 6 on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. ET. He revealed the picks in an exclusive interview with ESPN.com senior basketball writer Andy Katz and ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke on Tuesday, March 16.
On the Connecticut Huskies:
President Obama: Well I’ve watched UConn. I saw them, they came here last year after they had won the Championship. Wonderful young women, obviously a great coach and a great program, and so I’ve been watching them throughout the season, and I think it’s fair to say that they’re the best team in all of sports right now.
