Arkansas defeated St. John's 75-66, ruining Pitino's first-ever NCAA Tournament trip with the Red Storm. After the game, the two legendary head coaches shared a moment, as per usual. On Tuesday, Calipari hopped on the "Pat McAfee Show" and revealed what Pitino said to him after the final buzzer.

Though they downplayed the animosity, the coaches also noted that they are not friends. Earlier in the week, Calipari waxed on about his relationship with Self, and how it’s hard to play against friends; Pitino did the same about coaches like former UConn coach Jim Calhoun who have been important to him.

Calipari was being ridiculed with great delight over his Kentucky team's first-round loss to 14th-seeded Oakland.
