Apparently President Obama’s sports interest isn’t limited to wanting to bring a college football playoff system to the country. He’s also filled out an NCAA men’s basketball tournament bracket that will be revealed Wednesday during a 9 a.m. ESPN ‘SportsCenter’ interview with Andy Katz.

Obama has picked Louisville, North Carolina, Memphis and Pitt as his Final Four. No word on whether he’s made the trendy pick of Virginia Commonwealth upsetting UCLA or how much weight he’s given to USC’s impressive weekend at the Pac-10 tournament, though we suspect he might be partial to the conference where his brother-in-law Craig Robinson coaches, at Oregon State.

The president’s bracket will also be posted on ESPN.com.

And just a friendly piece of advice to the president. He might want to pick a women’s bracket too. They’re also playing an NCAA tournament and they’re voters too, though as far as we know, the president doesn’t have any family members coaching women’s teams.
