Charles Barkley Repeatedly Commends Ohio University's Hunger

ATLANTA—In a special segment of Tuesday’s edition of NBA Live dedicated to the NCAA Sweet 16, analyst Charles Barkley praised the “hunger, appetite for the game, and taste for a challenge” displayed by the underdogs of Ohio University. “They’ve really stepped up to the plate and devoured everything in front of them,” said Barkley, salivating visibly while showing highlights of the Bobcats’ best dishes and jams. “They really set the table by beating Georgetown, and I love the way they’re just licking their chops over North Carolina. I predict good things for them, like a meatball sub with extra provolone and Parmesan cheese on herb-garlic bread.” Barkley spent the rest of his allotted time praising the 10th-seeded Xavier team for its blow-job-like qualities.
