Saint Mary's College Of California

President Barack Obama picked Saint Mary's College to win in the opening round of the NCAA basketball tournament. A basketball fan and recreational player, the president made his bracket selections today, choosing the Gaels to emerge victorious over the Richmond Spiders. Unfortunately, the president's faith in SMC's men's basketball doesn't extend beyond the second round. He's picked Villanova to win if the Gaels advance.
