Former President Obama continued his tradition of releasing his men’s and women’s NCAA Tournament picks on Thursday choosing Gonzaga to take home the men’s title and Baylor winning a second straight title.

Obama picked the Bulldogs, who are the overall No. 1 seed, to beat Michigan to make it to the national championship on one side of his bracket. He has Illinois beating Baylor to face Gonzaga.

There are a few upsets on the president’s sheet as well.

Obama picked Patrick Ewing’s Georgetown Hoyas to upset No. 5 Colorado in the first round and favored Tom Izzo’s Michigan State squad to win in its First Four game and beat BYU in the first round. In the regional final, he has the Wolverines beating Texas.

Obama second-guessed himself in the South Region. He originally picked Wisconsin to beat North Carolina but scribbled the Badgers’ name out – talk about bulletin board material. He did the same thing for his second-round matchup picking Purdue over Villanova when he originally had it the other way. He has Baylor vs. Ohio State in his South Regional final and Texas Tech making it to the Sweet 16.
