Charles Barkley broke out the dance moves after Auburn's blowout first-round win in March Madness

Sometimes, you can’t help but dance and let your feelings out when it comes to March. On Friday, No. 2 Auburn’s mop-up 80-61 victory over No. 15 Jacksonville State in the men’s NCAA tournament certainly had most of the Tiger faithful feeling overjoyed. When you advance in your first NCAA tourney since 2019, it’s understandable to be on cloud nine.

One of the more famous Auburn alumni, Charles Barkley, was part of that celebratory crowd. And when spurred on to discuss the Tigers’ dominance during the post-game studio show, the College Basketball Hall of Famer-turned-analyst let it all fly out when encouraged by his fellow analysts and the terrifying teamojis.

He, indeed, hit the Griddy.

 

Considering the circumstances, not bad, Sir Charles. Who knew Barkley had those moves in him? Who knew he could dance like that? I guess dominant Auburn wins can bring out sides of one of the more famous basketball personalities that we’ve never seen before.
