Former U.S. President Barack Obama thinks the Spartans will go on a nice little run in March.
Obama annually fills out a NCAA Tournament bracket, and this year it was posted by the official NCAA March Madness account. In his bracket, he likes Michigan State to make it out of the first weekend and on the fringe of another Final Four.
Obama has the Spartans beating USC and then Marquette to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019. From there, he has Michigan State knocking off Kentucky in a rematch from this year’s Champions Classic to reach the Elite Eight. It is there, however, where the Spartans’ run ends against Duke.
Along with Duke, Obama has Baylor, Houston and UCLA in his Final Four, with the Blue Devils cutting down the nets as the National Champions in Houston.
Check out his complete bracket below:
