Friend of the Show, and life, Charles Barkley was part of the 9th sellout of the season at Auburn Arena last night (picture above). Barkley will not be in Auburn Saturday for the 10th sellout vs. Kentucky, he’ll be shooting another series of commercials for the upcoming NCAA Tournament. His Tigers are in a good place. 14 straight wins. Number 2 in the AP Poll for the third time in program history (1959, 1999) and if they beat Big Blue, likely the first Number 1 Ranking in program history. Barkley doesn’t shy away from the expectations of this team. He thinks two of the three best teams in the country play in Auburn Saturday. The other team he believes is Championship worthy is Purdue. No Gonzaga or Duke or Baylor. Barkley likes Auburn, Kentucky, and Purdue. We’ll see who survives Saturday.
