Before his Hall of Fame NBA career, Charles Barkley starred in basketball at Auburn. He’s never been shy about his Auburn allegiance.
As he has done since Turner joined CBS in broadcasting the NCAA tournament, Barkley was a studio analyst for Thursday’s games. He had to watch as Auburn melted away a nine-point lead and narrowly escaped with a win over New Mexico State.
When Auburn fouled a three-point shooter while up two points, Barkley lost his mind. But keep watching to see Barkley’s reaction to Auburn escaping with the win.
That right there is the full March Madness experience.
Auburn held on to win, 78-77. The Tigers just nearly killed Charles Barkley in the process.
