It wouldn't be March without some presidential picks.
U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama got in the college basketball spirit by filling out their 2023 March Madness brackets.
Biden, a graduate of Delaware and Syracuse, doesn't have a team in the hunt this season, but he still has a vested rooting interest thanks to the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden, who is a proud Villanova alum.
Good luck to every team in this year's NCAA tournament.

I've got Arizona in the men's tournament and Villanova in the women's - and as you know, in this household, Villanova always wins. pic.twitter.com/iILzABTCuo
On the women's side of things, Obama played it a little safer. His champion of choice? The reigning South Carolina Gamecocks.

Obama's vote of confidence in Dawn Staley & Co. is in keeping with his trend of picking the No. 1 overall seed (8 out of 13 tournaments). While this is his third time choosing the Gamecocks, his overwhelming favorite over the years has been UConn, whom he has selected on eight occasions.
Between the men's and women's tournaments, Obama has successfully predicted champions eight times since 2009.
If you're a Duke or South Carolina fan, here's hoping for lucky No. 9 (and 10).
