Charles Barkley called the Grand Canyon loss to Alabama ‘the dumbest game of basketball’

Charles Barkley is famously an Auburn alum, so you’d figure he’d show some bias against Alabama given their rivalry.

Nope. At least on Sunday, after Grand Canyon lost to Alabama in the second round of 2024 March Madness, the Hall of Famer congratulated the Crimson Tide on the win while ripping the Lopes.

“That was the dumbest game of basketball I may have ever seen,” he said on CBS. “I don’t think they ran a play the entire second half. … That was some of the dumbest basketball I’ve ever seen grown college men [play].”

“They just went one-on-one every single time. They didn’t run any plays!” he added.

Whew!
