Charles Barkley Unlocks Miami’s Achilles’ Inconvenience

TNT Sports college basketball analyst Charles Barkley likely didn't make Akron (or any Mid-American Conference team's) fans happy during his argument that the Miami RedHawks shouldn't have had to play in the NCAA Tournament First Four in Dayton. "I want to make one thing perfectly clear," Barkley said, in a video posted by TNT . "Miami of Ohio got screwed also too.
They should be a higher seed. They went 31-0 (in the regular season). I know my man Bruce Pearl , who I love, disagrees with me.
But I'm not a big proponent of strength of schedule. It's not their fault everybody in their conference sucks. They only played the schedule they were dealt.
They should be in the main draw. I don't normally root for teams, other than Auburn, to be honest with you. But I'm rooting for Miami (Ohio) to advance in this tournament.
