According to Charles Barkley, Kansas basketball does not yet know who it will face at the national championship, but it does not matter.
On the postgame TBS show, Barkley guaranteed the Jayhawks national title on Monday.
"Not only are they going to play for a national championship on Monday, they're going to win the national championship on Monday," Barkley said.
"Do we like to call it 'guarantee'?" Co-host Ernie Johnson asked.
"Yeah, you know what? I've seen enough," replied Barkley. "I think it will be difficult for them to beat anyone."
