Tar Heels to meet Obama again at May 11 White House visit

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina made President Barack Obama's bracket a winner with its romp through the NCAA tournament. Now Obama will get the chance to thank the Tar Heels for making him look good.

The president will honor the national champions at the White House next Monday.

Obama -- who played a pickup game with the team last spring -- picked the Tar Heels to win the title before the tournament. North Carolina was the only one of his Final Four picks to make it to Detroit.

It was the fifth NCAA championship for the Tar Heels (34-4) and the second in five seasons.
