Will Rupp Arena welcome back Dick Vitale with open arms?

Kentucky will have their hands full Saturday when they host top-ranked North Carolina at Rupp Arena. The Wildcats are coming off a 10-point win over a college that sounds like a retirement village (Stony Brook). Also coming to Rupp Arena is Dick Vitale. Saturday's game is on ESPN2. Remember when Dickie V. made those pointed comments toward UK fans following the departure of Tubby Smith? [link]
