OU takes on Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinal today, and Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are behind the Sooners.
Durant, the former University of Texas star, has adopted his rival Sooners in the four-team playoff, but he was also worried if the attendance for Thursday's Thunder game against the Phoenix Suns might be sparse with the Orange Bowl semifinal kicking off in the afternoon.
"We'll see what happens," Durant said Thursday at morning shootaround. "I'm rooting for OU ... finally."
OU quarterback Baker Mayfield said earlier this week he's a big Russell Westbrook fan, and Westbrook reciprocated the fandom on Thursday.
