“Ruined My Life”: Days After Charles Barkley’s “Painful” Claim, Massive March Madness Upset Sends Fans Into a Meltdown

March Madness is living up to its name and the hoops community is having the greatest time. Even the NBA regular season is all set to wind up and the teams are pressing their gas for the last lap. As both the leagues slide down to the business end, fans can expect unusual results and surprises. On Friday, a top-seeded team suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the sweet 16. Moreover, the result proved the Phoenix Suns legend Charles Barkley wrong yet again. 

Charles Barkley, alongside his usual TNT crew, covered the March Madness games in their analysis. Barkley picked his favorites for the National Championship during an episode. Chuck’s choice surprised everyone as he refused to pick his own alma mater, which pushed him to great heights. Moreover, this is Chuck’s second failed March Madness prediction.

Charles Barkley gets it wrong again

The top-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide took on San Diego State Aztecs during the Friday night Sweet 16 game. The Alabama team entered the game as the tournament favorites, but the odds turned toward San Diego. Alabama couldn’t capitalize on the second-quarter lead as San Diego snatched a comfortable 64-71 victory. The loss would have equally affected Charles Barkley as much as it did the fans. Barkley surprised the TNT crew with his pick with a painful statement. He said, “I’m picking, and this is painful for me to say, Roll Tide, National Champions,” 

He picked Alabama despite the rivalry the team had with his alma mater, Auburn. Moreover, this isn’t his only March Madness prediction.
