Vice President Joe Biden and wife, Jill, rooting for alma maters at Final Four

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, were in Houston at the Final Four rooting for Syracuse and Villanova on Saturday and if their alma maters win, they might have to be separated for a few hours Monday night.

The vice president earned his law degree from Syracuse in 1968 and Jill Biden earned one of her two master’s degrees from Villanova in 1987. The Bidens appeared on the TBS pre-game show prior to Villanova taking on Oklahoma in one national semifinal.

Ernie Johnson asked the couple what happens if their teams meet in the championship game on Monday.

“I got to figure out where I’m sleeping,” Joe Biden said.

“No, it’s all good. It’s friendly. It’s a friendly rivalry,” Jill Biden said.

Joe Biden said he picked Syracuse, Villanova, Notre Dame and Oregon to reach the Final Four when he filled out his bracket. He said he filled it out on St. Patrick’s Day, which is why he included Notre Dame.
