Bobby Witt Jr. part of small list of celebrities who believe in Oklahoma during March Madness

Just about everyone in America joins the March Madness craze and fills out a bracket ahead of the NCAA Tournament, including celebrities and athletes from other sports.

Ever since the bracket was released on Selection Sunday, celebrities' predictions have been popping up on social media. However, although the Oklahoma Sooners have a recognizable brand around the country, not many famous brackets have the Sooners going far, if anywhere at all.

Bobby Witt Jr.'s fandom showed through a little bit in his predictions, though. Before he emerged as the face of the Kansas City Royals, Witt was going to follow in his father's footsteps and was committed to play baseball for the Sooners. Instead, he was selected second overall in the 2019 MLB Draft and went straight to the pros.

Witt stuck to his fandom and picked the 9-seed Sooners to get past the 8-seed UConn Huskies in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. That hasn't been a popular pick with the Huskies title as defending two-time national champions.

However, Witt was too bias. He picked OU to lose to the 1-seed Florida Gators in the second round. Witt eventually has Florida getting upset by 2-seed Saint John's in the Elite Eight. He has Kentucky beating Saint John's in the national championship game.

I never thought there would be a world where these two collided, but Sandra Lee, famously known as Dr. Pimple Popper, agrees with Witt. She also has the Sooners beating UConn before falling to Florida.

Dr. Pimple Popper knows a lot, but probably not much basketball. Gonzaga legend Drew Timme knows ball, though, and also has the same prediction.

Other celebrities to predict OU to take out UConn include Jimmy Fallon and Gabby Thomas.

The first round of the NCAA Tournament tips off Thursday. OU will play UConn at 8:30 p.m. CT Friday.
