Dick Vitale and Ashley Judd kiss before Kentucky game

WASHINGTON — Let’s be clear, the No. 1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats didn’t need luck before today’s SEC Championship game. The men’s basketball team is 33-0, thanks to its future NBA players.

Still, ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale thought it would be a good thing to give actress Ashley Judd a “good luck kiss” before the Wildcats dismantled Arkansas.

On the lips.

Note how she leans away as much as possible as if trying to take a charge.  Perhaps Vitale will try to convince Judd this should be a “pregame superstition” — we’ll only know if he just happens to show up at Kentucky’s first NCAA Tournament game.  In seats near Judd.
