President Barack Obama will bank on Kansas to make him two-for-two in predicting NCAA tournament champions as commander-in-chief.

Obama made his picks on ESPN again this year and picked the Jayhawks, the tournament’s top seed, to cut down the nets in Indianapolis. Obama talked about the play of senior point guard Sherron Collins as one of the main reasons for backing Kansas.

“I always like teams who have experience in the backcourt,” said Obama, who correctly picked North Carolina to win the Big Dance last year.

Obama picked Kansas to beat Kentucky in the national championship and had Villanova and Kansas State filling out his Final Four.

Obama, who graduated from Columbia and Harvard law school, went with fellow Ivy League school Cornell to upset Temple in the first round before falling to Wisconsin. The president also had Siena winning their first-round game over Purdue.
