Things one wants to say to Sir Charles

Barkley is not a college hoops expert. But he's sitting at a desk with 3 others that are. He's there for his sometime brutal and often entertaining honesy, saying what others won't. His rant on politicians getting involved with NILs was tremendous. His not being afraid to be bold and at the same time wrong is refreshing.

Charles daughter graduated from Villanova and he played in Philly. I'm pretty sure he's a Nova fan. That would explain his rooting against UConn. However I still like Charles.

I get it. Fishy? “suggested” some thought he had a grudge against UConn. Nobody said that!!

You guys are weird.

Charles Barkley is not holding some secret grudge against us.

We were a two point favorite yesterday….picking Gonzaga was not exactly a declaration of war.

Except the whole time before the pre-game he was nothing but praising like we were the second coming of Lew Alcindor/Kareem and the UCLA teams. Then the pre-game show comes and hom and the others picked Gonzaga. What changed since Arkansas?

Really blows my mind that on the after show last night they chirped about Timme’s 3rd & 4th fouls and how unfair it was for the first 2 min of the broadcast. No respect for Uconn!

Yup. And they both totally ignored the fact that the Zags were already down 12 at that point and Timme had been pretty ineffective to that point. He couldve played 40 minutes last night and it wouldve made no difference.

Can someone remind me of how his 3rd and 4th weren’t his 4th and 5th foul? I mean first play of the game was his first and the ref below the basket absolutely ignored it. Alley oop to AJ he walked right under him and nothing was called.

Timme only flexed once ‘nuff said!

I love Charles and I hope he picks against us every time. They brought Jay Wright to the main round table for his analysis and he couldn’t even get a word in, Ernie had shout him out to get him to talk.

I agree 100% with this and I even believe he fouled Sanogo one other time before the he picked up his first. Not to mention fouls 3 and 4 were clear-cut.
 
Charles insisted that both Gonzaga and Arkansas were “grown men” to do battle with us who he included in that description. I’m quite sure he’ll be saying Miami is something we never faced before next Saturday. Let’s go back to this entire group’s pre NCAA tourney broadcast. You wanna hear something funny? They were all WRONG.
Yup, these basketball expert, analyst God‘s opinions were no better than some bum on a street corner who you would ask “who ya think is gonna make the Final Four”? And both answers were “Alabama” or “Purdue”!
They are entertaining individuals with a great gig, making commercials and pulling down big bucks but……they don’t know what’s gonna happen any more than anyone else.
 
I think Barkley is very entertaining and also very genuine. The 60 Minutes piece on him last night was very good. He's a refreshing and I think a much needed voice in sports and I think even beyond sports.

As for whether he's a UCONN supporter or not.......I could give a rat's........

Chuck is there to be the comedic relief. It’s a nice break from the rest of the talking heads. Just appreciate him for that and realize he probably doesn’t watch a second of college bball the rest of the year and you shouldn’t take his opinions seriously.
 
I'd rather have Shaq in the studio than Sir Charles. Shaq can provide comic relief and also better insight.

He looked intimidated from tip but tried to put on a brave front but you could see it. He traveled a couple times, didnt attack as soon as he got it and the fouls were terrible.

He’s very good at being wrong, I’ll give him that

Sport’s analysis is so boring so any comedy relief provided by anyone is a gift from the Gods. Even his extra efforts with some words (which seems like a speech issue) is entertaining. They are talking about grown men and women playing games so what is least required is sobering tones and decorum.

Good segment on Charles on 60 minutes last night. I’m a big fan even if I don’t agree with him. TV is better with him on it.

It was good and shows what a straight up guy Charles is.
 
upstater said:
All I'm saying is that he consistently comes out unimpressed with UConn. Bilas, who I consider a big UConn backer, came out against them in 2014 and picked the opposing team all 6 times. Charles has done it 4 tournies in a row.

I guarantee he picks Texas/Miami over UConn, though if UConn wins and makes the championship, he'll take UConn.

I knew he would pick against UConn

Interesting take……or maybe he just likes looking like a buffoon on National TV?? Either way I hope he keeps it up his record is darn near perfect!

He is trying to help motivate UConn and build complacency in our opponents. Well done Charles!
