Relative to other presidents, Obama is a big hoops fan and fairly knowledgeable about the sport. Certainly, once he met Geno and got to know of the UConn accomplishments, he tended to pick UConn. I think he picked Baylor in 2012 and/or 2013, because of Griner, which was a reasonable pick. Obama also has joked about the number of times Maya has visited—with UConn, the Lynx, and Team USA. I think the guards know Maya by sight. [/QUOTE]
