Over the years, Kentucky fans have built a reputation as one of the best traveling fan bases in the country, often dominating neutral venues at the Southeastern Conference Tournament or NCAA Tournament. But what Wildcat fans are doing on the road this season, especially with what they did Saturday in Columbia, S.C., is almost unheard of. More than 430 miles from Lexington, Big Blue Nation turned Colonial Life Arena into Rupp Arena South.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
