Does Charles Barkley know what he's talking about when it comes to college basketball?
The legendary NBA star and Turner Sports analyst has been on the call of the 2026 NCAA Tournament. Barkley is entertaining, to be sure, though does he really know what he's talking about when it comes to the NCAA Tournament?
Not really.
Saturday night, Barkley predicted that No. 3 Illinois would take down No. 2 UConn - and it wouldn't even be close. UConn, of course, went on to beat Illinois with relative ease.
