(AP) -- President Barack Obama still believes in
Kansas.

For the third straight year, Obama has filled out an NCAA
tournament bracket for ESPN. He says Duke, Kansas, Ohio State and
Pittsburgh will make the men's Final Four, with the Jayhawks
beating the Buckeyes in the national championship game.

His pick to win it all was revealed Wednesday on SportsCenter.
Obama also picked Kansas to win the title last season, but
Northern Iowa upset the Jayhawks in the second round. Duke went on
to defeat Butler for the championship.

Obama predicts Baylor, UConn, Stanford and Tennessee will
advance to the Final Four in the women's tournament. His full
bracket will be unveiled Friday morning.
