Charles Barkley rips into Kentucky's performance after upset loss to Saint Peter's

It was a wild one in Indianapolis. Bodies diving on the floor, clutch 3s and big blocks galore when No. 2 seed Kentucky took on No. 15 seed Saint Peter's on Thursday night.

But Hall of Famer and March Madness analyst Charles Barkley wasn't impressed.

After praising the Wildcats as the "most dangerous team" playing in the NCAA Tournament before the game, Barkley changed his tune during CBS' halftime show and after Kentucky lost 85-79 in overtime to the Saint Peter's Peacocks.

The Auburn legend had a lot to say about Kentucky's defense — or lack thereof — while also insinuating that the Wildcats were not prepared for the hunger of the Peacocks.
