NEW YORK (AP) -- For everyone who picked Kansas to win the men's NCAA basketball title, the president feels your pain. 

President Barack Obama's bracket was busted Saturday when the Jayhawks, the tournament's top seed, were stunned by No. 9 seed Northern Iowa 69-67. Obama picked Kansas to beat Kentucky for the championship. 

Obama's bracket was looking good - he correctly predicted 25 of 32 winners - after the first round, but it took a big hit earlier
Saturday when No. 2 seed Villanova was upset by 10th-seeded Saint Mary's 75-68. Obama, who correctly predicted North Carolina's title last year, picked the Wildcats to make the Final Four. 

The First Fan could take some solace in the fact that his women's bracket was perfect through the first eight games Saturday.
