Kentucky coach John Calipari gives a 3-goggles salute before addressing the crowd of more than 20,000 gathered at Rupp Arena Tuesday to welcome the Wildcats back after their 67-59 win over Kansas Monday in the NCAA National Championship game. Along with the crowd inside Rupp Arena, another 5,000 fans were at Bluegrass Airport to welcome the team back from New Orleans, and thousands of others lined the roadsides as the team bus made its way into downtown Lexington.
