The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles have become the Cinderella of the tournament after upsetting Florida on Sunday night in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament to make the Sweet 16.
Kyle Kirms, a professional handicapper and YouTuber, felt so good about that game that he took to Twitter and guaranteed the Gators would beat Oral Roberts. If that did not happen, he would go out and get a tattoo on his behind.
He would soon deliver on his promise.
The Golden Eagles are only the second No. 15 seed to make it this far in the men’s tournament, joining Florida Gulf Coast University.
“It’s really just mind blowing,” Obanor said Sunday night after the win over Florida. “We’re grateful. Just happy that we got the win.”
