Last night, Villanova beat North Carolina in the NCAA national championship on a game-winning buzzer beater by Kris Jenkins and no one was happier for them than TNT analyst Charles Barkley.
Thrill of victory…

So why was Chuck so pumped about Villanova’s win? Barkley explained why he had been rooting for the Wild Cats during their tourney run.

“My daughter was living and dying with every game for the last three weeks, so I was really more excited for her, to be honest with you,’’ Barkley, who did commentary for TNT during the NCAA tournament, told USA TODAY Sports. “She’s been going to a Villanova bar in New York City every game. She didn’t even want to come to the game because she didn’t want to jinx the game.”
Awesome Chuck.
