Actress Ashley Judd's family has followed Kentucky basketball for generations, so it's been a natural for her to become such a devoted Wildcats fan.
Judd has been a regular at Kentucky's NCAA tournament games and rarely misses a chance to root on the Wildcats when they reach the Final Four. She attended Saturday's win over in-state rival on Saturday, flew to Birmingham, Ala., to watch her husband, IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti race, and arrived at the Superdome just before tipoff against Kansas.
"For me, Kentucky basketball is about family," she said, seated next to Franchitti in the front row behind Kentucky's bench. "Kentucky basketball has gone down through the generations and my uncle used to take me down to Lexington to see games and my dad and I would always go over the stat sheets. It's always been about family for me."
