The former Auburn star picked BYU to beat the Crimson Tide in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.
Charles Barkley did the only thing he could do after Mark Sears and Alabama dismantled BYU 113-88 in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
“That’s all you have to do after a game like that,” Barkley said. “That’s all you can do. That was impressive.” “They are gonna make enough shots. They have to have a good job on the boards. I’m taking BYU in an upset.”Even at halftime, with the Tide leading 51-40, Barkley was optimistic. “But you have to say, ‘Guys, we’re not gonna go 1 for 13. That’s the only thing you can say. A team gonna shoot that percentage, you just have to shake their hand after the game. They’re playing pretty good defense. If I’m coach Young, I’m saying, ‘Guys, we’re a 3-point shooting team. We’re not gonna go 1 for 13. We’re only down 11.’ … should be up more. BYU’s like, ‘Guys, we’re never gonna go 1 for 13 again because they are a 3-point shooting team. That’s all you gotta say.
