Everything is falling for Auburn vs. North Carolina and Charles Barkley is living it up.
Auburn came out on fire to start the second half, as they picked up where they left off with a 10-0 run to close the first half, and Auburn legend, Charles Barkley is enjoying every minute of it.
The Tigers built a big lead in the second half vs. North Carolina as one three-point shot began to fall after another. Auburn was blocking one North Carolina shot after another and momentum was clearly on the side of War Eagle.
Back in the CBS studios where Barkley was sitting next to Tar Heel great Kenny Smith, he was loving every last second of this performance from his alma mater.

Sir Charles is hoping to see Auburn advance to their second Elite 8 in program history with a win vs. North Carolina, who many had predicted to win the national title. Meanwhile, his CBS partner looks like he just learned he didn’t save a bunch of money on his car insurance.
This rivalry off-the-court between Chuck and Kenny has provided as much drama and entertainment as the actual second half of this game. It was a competitive first half but Auburn took it to another level in the first 10 minutes of the second half to put separation between the two.
There’s still time for the Tar Heels to mount a comeback, especially with how quickly they can score, and if that happens, the reactions from Chuck will be wild to see. For his sake, let’s all hope that doesn’t happen, but it would be pretty funny.
UPDATE: Chuck is still living his best life as Auburn advanced to the Elite 8 for the first time since 1986. More celebratory videos are expected.
