Obama picks Temple to advance

President Barack Obama filled out the official Presidential Bracket today, and he gave the Temple Owls a shot.

Obama picked Temple — and fellow city contender Villanova — to advance in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which begins this week.

The good news ends after the first round, though, as Obama predicts Temple will not defeat its second-round contender (who, pending a major upset, will be Syracuse).

Villanova, he said, will make it to the Sweet 16. But UNC will take it all.
