During his eight years in the White House, Barack Obama filled out NCAA tournament brackets in segments aired by ESPN.
The former president -- a noted basketball fan -- is still filling out brackets, though not on TV. He released his picks for the men's and women's tournaments via Twitter on Wednesday.
Obama has Auburn advancing to the Sweet 16 (losing to Kansas), but Alabama losing to Virginia Tech in the first round. The former president has Virginia, North Carolina, Villanova and Michigan State in the Final Four, with Michigan State winning the national championship.
Below are Obama's complete picks:
Just because I have more time to watch games doesn't mean my picks will be better, but here are my brackets this year: https://t.co/ETRchPcZxF pic.twitter.com/gnNXw0Ysxr

Current President Donald Trump has since taking office declined to fill out an NCAA bracket, at least for broadcast purposes.
