WASHINGTON, D.C. - As the NCAA tournaments become more intense with each progression, President Obama takes his pick of winners for his own NCAA Tournament bracket.

President Obama chose the following teams as ESPN's Andy Katz watched:

• OHIO STATE— EAST REGION
  
• DUKE— WEST REGION
  
• KANSAS— SOUTHWEST REGION
  
• PITT— SOUTHEAST REGION
  
• KANSAS OVER PITT— THE FINAL FOUR
  
• OHIO STATE OVER DUKE— THE FINAL FOUR
  
• KANSAS OVER OHIO STATE IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
  

President Obama incorrectly chose UNC to win the championship last year.
