Charles Barkley didn't have a shake during March Madness coverage this year, but he certainly did have Kenny Smith.
During Monday's NCAA title game between Kansas and North Carolina, Barkley lived his best life at the expense of Smith, a Tar Heels alum. After making a late basket by Kansas to take a 65–61 lead, Barkley turned to Smith and began dancing to "YMCA" by The Village People. Barkley, although he attended Auburn for college, predicted before the game that Kansas would win.
Take a look at that funny video where Smith had nothing and took his chair away from Barkley.

Although North Carolina would score late to close the gap and even take a brief 69–68 lead, Kansas won 72–69. Thus, this was one of the rare times when Barclay's prediction actually came true.
Meanwhile, "YMCA" definitely looks like it's becoming one of Barkley's favorite songs. Earlier in the tournament, Barkley showed off some even better dance moves from the '70s hit.
