After President Barack Obama revealed his NCAA tournament bracket with Texas defeating Butler in the second round of Midwest regional play, Butler coach Chris Holtmann responded in kind.

Holtmann's rejection of Obama's pick is certainly understandable, though it shouldn't hurt too much: Obama has the Longhorns losing to No. 3 Notre Dame in the Round of 32.
