You've probably seen President Barack Obama making his NCAA tournament picks for ESPN. The prez picked the Terps to meet Michigan State in the second round. He's got the Spartans winning.
"Maryland's got a great player [Greivis Vasquez], but Michigan State's got a great coach [Tom Izzo]," Obama said.
Vasquez was asked about Obama's selection earlier today. "That's his opinion," Vasquez said very diplomatically. "We respect that."
For the record, Obama has Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Villanova in the Final Four. He's got Kansas winning the whole thing.
