Before Oklahoma faced LSU in the Peach Bowl Saturday, Thunder rookie Darius Bazley made a bold prediction.
“I got Oklahoma winning it all,” read a post on his verified Twitter account Saturday morning.
The No. 4 ranked Sooners have a tough matchup with Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and his No. 1 ranked Tigers. If was to upset LSU, it would take on the winner of Ohio State vs. Clemson in the National Championship Game.
On Saturday afternoon. Bazley dug in his heels. ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins, who played for the Thunder in 2010-2015, tweeted his support for LSU and Ohio State.
