Someone has more faith in Oklahoma's men's basketball team than most of Sooner Nation.
The 9-seed Sooners will begin the NCAA Tournament against the 8-seed UConn Huskies in the first round on Friday night. The Huskies have won the last two national championships under Dan Hurley, leading most to pencil in UConn as their winner in their March Madness brackets.
If OU pulls off the upset in Round 1, the Sooners then likely get the 1-seed Florida Gators in the second round on Sunday. The Gators just won the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, which was by far the toughest conference tournament in the country this season. Florida's late surge has it as one of the most popular picks to win it all.
The Gators also thumped OU 85-63 in February in Gainesville, Florida.
That early difficult path has most predicting the Sooners to get knocked out of the NCAA Tournament early, including Vegas.
But apparently Jordan Howlett, known as "Jordan The Stallion," is not most. Howlett is a well-known YouTuber with over four million subscribers. He also has nearly 14 million followers on TikTok.
From San Diego, California, Howlett has a wild story of going from being homeless to becoming a Division-I baseball player before emerging as a viral star.
All week since Selection Sunday, celebrities' brackets have been shared on social media. Bobby Witt Jr. and a few others had the Sooners at least getting past UConn, but not surviving the second round.
Howlett, though, doesn't just have OU upsetting Florida, but making a run to the Final Four. After beating UConn and Florida, Howlett predicted the Sooners to also beat 12-seed Colorado State and 7-seed Kansas to win the West Region.
The championship game of his bracket features North Carolina beating Duke in a massive rivalry game. He also has 15-seed Robert Morris upsetting 2-seed Alabama in the first round.
Obviously Howlett's bracket is pretty wild, even beyond his OU prediction, but props to him for embracing the madness.
