Watch President Obama Joke Around With UConn Women's Basketball Team [VIDEO]

The University of Connecticut women's basketball team won its sixth title of the Obama presidency last month, and the president himself brought them to the White House recently to congratulate them.

It is head coach Geno Auriemma's 11th championship since he started coaching the team in the 1980s, and he personally presented Obama with a chair engraved on the backrest with the six championship teams of Obama's tenure, while quipping that "we always have your back" in a video posted by the White House.

Obama said the chair was "beautiful" and asked to test it out, and the entire UConn Huskies team applauded him as he relaxed in it.

"It's clear that I am your rabbit's foot," he joked. "I'm your lucky number, baby."

He praised the team for being "great role models" for everyone.

"To watch this program and how it's elevated women's basketball and the sport generally, each year you can see it getting better and better, and that's just a great message for young ones," he said.
