Is he a big basketball fan? I don't know LOL President Obama's NCAA tournament bracket puts him in 30th percentile UPDATE (2:20 pm ET): If President Obama's pick of Wisconsin yesterday — part of picking the Badgers to the Sweet 16 — was the nadir of his Round of 64 picks, then he earns a measure of redemption today. Obama correctly picked Michigan over VCU, and has the Wolverines knocking off Kansas in the Sweet 16 to get to the Elite Eight. After the way Michigan dismantled VCU, that looks like a great pick right now. After the Round of 64, President Barack Obama's NCAA tournament bracket picks are behind more than 60% of the country. Friday's set of games featured one big high (picking LaSalle over Kansas State) and one modest upset pick (Minnesota over UCLA, which half the country predicted), but also some tough misses, most notably Wisconsin, one of the President's Elite Eight picks. www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2013/03/23/ncaa-tournament-obama-bracket-wisconsin-fgcu/2012561/

The Terps would not have fallen apart lolol
from the Bleacher Report - yeah yeah i know - this is the NIT
A narrow loss against North Carolina in the ACC tournament cost the Terrapins an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament, but they are in great position to make a run in the NIT.
Dez Wells has made 60 percent of his shots in the NIT and has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in four of his past five games. The sophomore averaged only 13 points per game in the regular season, but he has at least 15 points in seven of the last nine games.
Unlike the other teams mentioned, Maryland will be the underdog in its next game. The Terrapins will face No. 1 Alabama, but Maryland has been better this season. With wins against North Carolina State and Duke, they have better wins than the Crimson Tide.
Maryland likes to play quick and score a lot of points. What gives the Terrapins the edge over Alabama is their ability to rebound the ball. They rank third in the nation with 40 rebounds per game. Center Alex Len averages nearly eight boards per game.
The ability to score quick and grab a ton of boards makes them a very dangerous team.
