John Calipari jokes about peeing on Charles Barkley's statue ahead of Kentucky-Auburn Elite Eight showdown

Adam Spencer | 5 years ago

The Auburn Tigers are taking on the Kentucky Wildcats in an Elite Eight showdown in Kansas City on Sunday, and it should be an intense game.

However, on Saturday, coach John Calipari was still having fun at the expense of his friend and Auburn legend Charles Barkley.

During his press conference, Coach Cal joked that he had peed on the Barkley statue that was unveiled on Auburn’s campus this season:

Kentucky coach John Calipari pokes more fun at Auburn alum Charles Barkley: "Whose that big guy with the big head? I peed on his statue down there."

Cal did indeed clarify that he was joking, but we’re sure Chuck will have something to say about it before Sunday’s game.

Who will get the last laugh? We’ll find out on Sunday afternoon.
