George Washington basketball coach Mike Lonergan didn't like what he saw when President Barack Obama filled out his NCAA Tournament bracket with ESPN's Andy Katz. In the round of 64, Obama picked the Memphis Tigers to beat Lonergan's Colonials, the only team in the Big Dance from Washington D.C.

Lonergan took to Twitter to complain.

While the 48-year-old later tweeted that he "was joking around," he shouldn't be too upset. Obama picked Virginia to top Memphis in the third round. But still, G.W. seems like it just can't catch a break this week. Not only did Obama pick Memphis, but an official tournament shirt on the NCAA's website on Monday mistakenly put Georgetown in the field instead of G.W. Also, a newspaper in Vermont where Lonergan coached for six years failed to spell his name right.

Poor G.W.
