Both are number 1 seeds and both dominated their conference tournaments. That’s how Houston and Florida made it all the way to the Big Dance. During the finals, all the narrative was if the Cougars could keep the Gators at bay. After all, they were successful against Cooper Flagg led Duke. However, the CBS broadcast team had a different analogy to describe the game. Specifically, it was Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith’s words that caught the netizens by surprise!
The sentiment quickly caught fire on social media, and one person wrote, “Get Kenny Smith off the mic.” But, one might be thinking, what exactly were the words that the 2x NBA champion uttered? “We don’t have the girth, but we have more length.” The former UNC star implied that Houston has more length but not more girth than Florida. Some fans thought it was Charles Barkley who said this, but it was actually The Jet who said it.
Anyway, you put it, this sounds like an innuendo that shouldn’t be part of the national broadcast.
This is why one fan vented, “I swear Kenny Smith talks about length and girth every single halftime show.” The Cougars had the small lead of 3 points at the halfway mark. Kelvin Sampson’s team scored 31 but was successful in restricting Florida to 8-21 in FG. Plus, the defensive masterclass was also on point as they forced 9 turnovers from Todd Golden’s team.
