Actress Ashley Judd will be at the Dome tonight

Kentucky super-fan and movie star Ashley Judd will be at the Carrier Dome tonight when Kentucky and Cornell face off in the Sweet 16. The "Double Jeopardy" star went to New Orleans to watch the Wildcats crush Wake Forest. Judd says she was embarrassed during former coach Billy Gillispie's tenure because of how bad the team was. Even though she had high expectations when new coach John Calipari came in, she says the team's success this year was a pleasant surprise.  

"I dreamed of it being this high this fast because I have visions of grandeur as a Kentucky fan," Judd said. "But I probably, if backed into a corner, would have said, 'No, for real we can't.' But now that we are, it's impressive. It's pretty incredible."
