Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will attend the Final Four in Houston – and (at least) one of them will leave the city disappointed. Both the vice president and his wife are alumni of Final Four teams.

Joe Biden graduated from the Syracuse College of Law in 1968. He also gave the commencement speech at the university in 2009.

Jill Biden is an alumna from Villanova University, in Villanova, Pa., receiving a Master of Arts in English in 1991. She delivered the school’s commencement address in 2014.

The couple also will be here to promote the It’s On Us campaign, which aims to prevent sexual violence and support sexual assault survivors at college campuses. The vice president spoke about the campaign at several college campuses, including Syracuse, in the past year. He also discussed the issue at last month's Academy Awards before introducing Lady Gaga.

Barack Obama didn't have faith in either of the Bidens' teams. He picked Syracuse to lose in the second round and the Wildcats to fall in the Elite Eight. Villanova defeated the president's title pick, Kansas, last Saturday.

If Villanova and Syracuse, old Big East rivals, face off during this year's Final Four, it won't be until the championship game. The Villanova Wildcats play Oklahoma on Saturday evening in the first Final Four match-up, while the Syracuse Orange take on North Carolina in the second game later that night. The winners of those two contests will meet Monday for the national championship.
