Duke Basketball: President Barack Obama picks Blue Devils to win title

Former United States President Barack Obama has unveiled his 2019 NCAA Tournament bracket and he picked the Duke Basketball team to win the National Championship.

A known North Carolina Tar Heel fan, former President Barack Obama has filled out his bracket and he has the Duke Blue Devils cutting down the nets in Minneapolis on April 8.

Strangely enough, President Obama has the Blue Devils defeating the Tar Heels in the National Championship.

The Michigan Wolverines and the Tennessee Volunteers round out the President’s Final Four.

When Obama was in office, ESPN would regularly film the President filling out his bracket and call it ‘Barack-etology”.

It was reported that ESPN also offered to do have a segment with  current President Donald Trump filling out his bracket, but Trump declined the offer.

Obama was in attendance in the infamous Duke vs. North Carolina matchup on February 20 at Cameron Indoor Stadium where Blue Devil star Zion Williamson blew out his shoe and sprained his knee.

Williamson missed the next five games but returned last Thursday for the ACC Tournament and the Blue Devils won three games in three days against Syracuse, North Carolina, and Florida State, winning the Duke the ACC Tournament, and then going on to earn the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.

President Obama also released his bracket for the Women’s NCAA Tournament and Obama has the Connecticut Lady Huskies getting revenge on Notre Dame in the Final Four and then regaining its throne as the National Champions, downing the Baylor Lady Bears in the National Championship.

The Men’s NCAA Tournament is underway, but the Blue Devils do not play until Friday night at approximately 7:10pm ET against North Dakota State from Columbia, South Carolina.

The Women’s Tournament starts on Friday afternoon, with the Final Four on April 5 and National Championship on April 7.
