He picked North Carolina as his champion on the men's side and chose Connecticut in the women's draw.

The noted basketball fan predicted a Tobacco Road battle in the men's national title game, with the Tar Heels beating Duke to win the seventh national championship in program history. Arizona and Kansas rounded out the Final Four in his bracket.

During his eight years in office, Obama traditionally filled out his picks each season on ESPN, which was dubbed "Barack-etology." He selected Kansas to go all the way in 2016, via ESPN.

While ESPN gave President Donald Trump the same opportunity this year, he respectfully declined.
