Carolina held it all the way until about 3:15 p.m. That's when Ashley Judd walked into the general aviation terminal at Lexington's Bluegrass Airport. This is a team that can stand at the free throw line in front of 23,860 screaming maniacs and coolly deposit game-clinching free throws. But let one of the world's most famous movie stars walk into the building and that poise vanishes.
