The CBS Selection Show and in particular analyst Charles Barkley were widely criticized for Sunday’s March Madness 2016 NCAA Tournament reveal.
First off, most recognized that Barkley barely watches college basketball and therefore was terrible on the selection show. We already mocked him for the trouble he had with the touch screen (watch here), but it was much worse than that.
Take a look below at some of the criticism Barkley got on Twitter. These zingers are solid:
Lol watching Charles Barkley talk college basketball if funny cause he talks like a straight up gambler

Charles Barkley doesn’t even watch college basketball. This would be more entertaining if they made him try to find these teams on a map.

Next on CBS, Charles Barkley assembles a bookshelf from Ikea.

You are looking live at Chuck learning to use a touchscreen…

"I have no idea why they lost 10 games this year." – Charles Barkley

I am 100 percent certain that Charles Barkley has watched fewer NCAA basketball games this year than the President of the United States has.

SHOW ME THE F'N BRACKETS! Charles Barkley breaking down teams he hasn't seen play with players he's never heard of is a waste of space.

Who decided to give Chuck a touchscreen????

Why can't CBS grasp that just because Charles Barkley is good at commenting on the NBA, that doesn't make him good on college basketball?

"I love my man Jay Wright, so I'm taking Villanova…" This is hilariously bad television commentary. "I like cheesesteaks. Going w/ Nova."

Things weren’t much better for CBS overall. Most fans were upset with the way the network unveiled each region one by one rather than as a whole. For this reason, it took an hour for the entire brackets to be released.
Fans and media members did not like that either and let CBS hear it on Twitter. Head to Page 2 to see the rest.
