President Obama picks UNC to beat Kentucky for NCAA title
Posted Mar 14, 2012
President Obama picked a title game between Kentucky and North Carolina, a rematch of a thrilling regular-season showdown in Lexington back in December. Anthony Davis blocked John Henson’s shot in the final seconds to secure a 73-72 win for the Big Blue. The president initially leaned toward Kentucky, but then switched to the Heels. “I am going with North Carolina getting revenge for the regular-season victory,’’ Obama said.
