A former United States President has Kentucky in the National Championship game in his bracket

Many people believe the Kentucky Wildcats will make a run in the NCAA Tournament.

It's officially bracket time, as the NCAA Tournament is right around the corner, and Selection Sunday is a few days behind us. 

Everybody loves March Madness because it is one of the best sporting events in the world and even some former United States Presidents like to partake in the action of filling out a bracket. 

Barack Obama is known as a basketball lover as he enjoys watching and even playing. The former President just filled out his bracket, and he has Kentucky in the National Championship game against UConn. While President Obama does have Kentucky losing to the Huskies, this is another person who has the Wildcats making a deep run. 

President Obama's path to the National Championship for Kentucky includes wins over #14 seed Oakland, #11 seed NC State, #2 seed Marquette, #1 seed Houston, and lastly #1 seed Purdue in the Final Four. 

The Wildcats have a manageable path to get out of the first weekend, but after this, like in every NCAA Tournament, things are going to get much more difficult once the Sweet 16 comes around. 

The matchup between Kentucky and Marquette should be a good one, as both teams have pretty straightforward paths to this game. Marquette is a good basketball team, but there is no doubt in my mind that Kentucky can beat them. 

It will all come down to which Kentucky defense shows up. If it's the defense, we saw when the Wildcats took on Auburn this team can win a National Championship. If it's the defense we saw against Texas A&M, this team might not get out of the first weekend.
