Jim got wind of Chuck's comments, and after knocking off Barkley's old school, had a hilarious reaction to it.
“I listened to Charles Barkley tell the CBS crew that if Auburn won, he’d take off his shirt. And, I thought to myself, no one wants to see that, Chuck," Larrañaga said. Of course, Barkley has ties to Auburn -- he played for the Tigers for three years averaging 14.1 points per game -- so, it's safe to say he was a bit biased in his prediction.But, Auburn was 7.5 point favorite over Miami, so Barkley, like most people, was stunned when the Hurricanes easily handled Auburn.
Miami dominated the Tigers, 79-61, to advance to the Sweet 16 ... and it seems coach Larrañaga and his team played with extra motivation thanks to Chuck. After the game, Barkley was a good sport about Larrañaga's pot shot ... and even heaped praise on Jim for the way the Hurricanes beat up on his Tigers.We also got video of the Hurricanes arriving back in Florida thanks to our intern,A group of passionate fans was there to greet coach as early as 2:15 AM ... and coach spent time high-fiving students as they chanted"It's great to be a Miami Hurricane.
