President Obama is picking North Carolina to beat Kentucky in the national title game, calling the Tar Heels a more experienced team.  The president released his NCAA tournament brackets on ESPN Wednesday.  He believes some local teams will have an early exit from the tournament.

"New Mexico over Louisville.  Congratulations to Murray State, but I've got to go with Marquette on this one."

The president attended his first NCAA tournament game Tuesday Night in Dayton where WKU beat Mississippi Valley State.  The Hilltoppers meet the U-K Wildcats Thursday evening.
