Kansas pulled off the unthinkable on Monday night in New Orleans, storming back from a 15-point halftime deficit to down North Carolina in the men’s NCAA championship game.
In doing so, the Jayhawks made Charles Barkley extremely happy.
Barkley, who “guaranteed” a Kansas victory earlier on Monday evening, was ecstatic when Bill Self’s program had taken a 65–61 lead with less than four minutes to go. During the media timeout, he got up and danced to The Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.”, in an attempt to get the attention of co-host and UNC alum Kenny Smith.
