POTUS on their side
Sometimes you have to make bracket selections with your heart. President Joe Biden pushed seeds, odds and opponents aside and chose his alma mater, Delaware Blue Hens, to win both the boys and girls tournaments.

Texas AD wild ride
Everyone has had a long trip. People take bath breaks too much. They try to take pictures from moving cars. Souvenirs are purchased. According to Chris Del Conte, the Longhorns athletic director, he had problems traveling with a flight from Austin, Texas, to Milwaukee for Texas’ first game on Friday.
So Del Conte got a car with some Texas fans and headed north. According to the feed, Del Conte was pulled over at a traffic stop – in Oklahoma, of course.
