Charles Barkley Did The Funniest Little Dance After Villanova Won

But the dramatic finish of the NCAA title game isn't every TV analyst's cup of tea.

Who says sports broadcasters are supposed to be impartial?

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley let their emotions shine through in drastically different ways on Monday night. After Kris Jenkins' 3-pointer lifted Villanova over North Carolina in the NCAA basketball championship, Barkley thrust his hands in the air, did a little touchdown dance and jumped as high as his heft would let him. Smith, an All-American at North Carolina , did, well, what you'd expect a former Tar Heel to do after UNC's hopes were crushed.

As for why Barkley, who played at Auburn , would go nuts, perhaps he developed an attachment to Philadelphia-area 'Nova while he played for the Philadelphia 76ers. Or maybe he just loves a spectacular ending.

You go on being Chuck, Charles.
