NCAA Tournament 2013: The best Charles Barkley moments

No topics are off limits when Barkley is on the set. He proved that again this past month.

USA TODAY Sports

For the third year in a row, NBA Hall of Fame member and current TV analyst Charles Barkley took over the March Madness studios on CBS, TNT and TBS. Never afraid to hold back or speak his mind, Barkley provided some memorable moments while breaking down games.

Here is a video compilation of all the Barkleyisms for the month of March. Among a few of the more memorable lines.

“Where the hell is Florida Gulf Coast?”

“I’ll hit a man with glasses.”

“I don’t got a college degree, but I got a lot of people working for me who got one.”

And, as always, there were a few lines that got Barkley in trouble with some in the media. Here was one prime example.

“If you get a bunch of ugly girls together and you pick out a homecoming queen, that don’t mean she was the homecoming queen.”

This year’s NCAA Tournament pulled in the highest TV ratings since 2005.
