Obama Reveals 2025 NCAA Bracket and Mentorship Plan

Former President Barack Obama has revealed his 2025 NCAA Tournament brackets, continuing a tradition he began during his presidency. For the men's tournament, Obama predicts a Final Four of Auburn, Florida, Duke, and Tennessee, with Duke securing the championship over Florida. In the women's bracket, he has chosen South Carolina, UCLA, USC, and Notre Dame for the semifinals, with South Carolina defending their title against UCLA. Obama's predictions include only a few upsets, notably VCU defeating BYU in the men's first round. He also expressed confidence in South Carolina's women's team, led by coach Dawn Staley, to repeat their championship success from 2024. This year, some of Obama's mentees from the My Brother's Keeper Alliance will attend the Final Four to learn from the event organizers.
