In a televised address, the President congratulated the Michigan Wolverines and the UConn Huskies as they compete in the 2026 NCAA College Basketball National Championship. He noted that the tournament, which has run for nearly 90 years, brings together 68 college teams in a three‑week, single‑elimination competition held every March. The President highlighted the rigorous path teams face, including a grueling regular season and six rounds of “March Madness,” and praised the student‑athletes, coaches, families, and fans for their dedication and teamwork. He added that the tournament includes colleges and universities of all sizes from every region of the country, and that it has historically been defined by powerhouse performances, underdog stories, and unpredictable outcomes. The President and First Lady expressed appreciation for the players’ effort and wished the best of luck to the teams competing for the championship trophy.
