Portland is again a host for the the first two rounds of the NCAA  tournament. Below is a printable bracket from collegehoops.net. Last year, Senator Obama picked Mississippi State over the Oregon Ducks (turned out to be correct) and Kansas over Portland State (obviously correct) the day before he visited Portland & Eugene–bold move. I wonder if he is picking our PSU Viks (not Vikes!) this year over Xaxier. They are no Kansas 2008.

UPDATE: Obama picks Xavier over Portland State (how dare you!).

In games taking place in Portland, Obama picks Washington over Mississippi State (picked MSU over over Oregon last year…hmmm) St & Purdue over N. Iowa (of course.)

• See all of his 2009 picks on ESPN.com
• See all of Barack Obama's NCAA bracket picks last year here.

The Ducks took a nose dive this year. In Oregon, only Portland State represent-zent-ZENTS this year.
