Barkley’s bracket is looking good. He’s got all of his Final Four teams remaining and seven of his eight Elite Eight teams.

Final Four: No. 1 Gonzaga, No. 1 Baylor, No. 1 Illinois, No. 4 Michigan

Obama also correctly saw Ohio upsetting Virginia in the first round.
Dwyane Wade
Champion: Michigan
Final Four: No. 1 Gonzaga, No. 1 Illinois, No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Ohio State
The right side of Wade’s bracket is in trouble, as his Final Four picks of Illinois and Ohio State are both out. But his left side of Gonzaga and Michigan are both in the Sweet 16.
