WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a televised interview, President Barack Obama filled out his brackets for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and put Wisconsin's two tournament entries as far as the Sweet 16.

Mr. Obama had Marquette falling in that round to his Final Four pick from the West region, Missouri.

The President chose Syracuse over Wisconsin in the Sweet 16 as well.

He didn't specifically mention either school, but the video of Mr. Obama's interview with ESPN showed how far he had the Badgers and Marquette going.
