President Barack Obama is picking Indiana to go all the way in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
ESPN revealed Wednesday that Obama picked the Hoosiers to win it all in his 2013 bracket. He predicted Louisville, Ohio State and Florida would round out the Final Four.
Obama has made an annual tradition of giving his bracket predictions to ESPN but only correctly picked the winner once — North Carolina in 2009.
As for Michigan State and Michigan, Obama says the Spartans will lose to Duke in the Sweet 16 and the Wolverines will make it to the Elite Eight, where they will fall to Florida.
