The Wildcats are a perfect 34-0 heading into the NCAA tournament and one fan is so convinced UK will win it all that he already has a “2015 National Champs” tattoo.

Per WLKY (Louisville) reporter Marissa Alter, the tattoo belongs to Rock Wright, who pretty much looks like the average Kentucky fan.
Meet Rock Wright: How sure is he UK will go 40-0 & become National Champs? He got a tattoo saying so #WLKYRTFF @WLKY pic.twitter.com/kV7tAT66xv

To his credit though, Wright has a plan to correct the tattoo if a team manages to knock off the Wildcats. In that case, his tattoo will commemorate Kentucky’s 2012 national title-winning squad.
@KatzM @WLKY He'll change the 5 to a 2 and the 40-0 to a bolder/bigger 38-2.

This isn’t the first time a Kentucky fan has gotten a rather bold tattoo. Prior to last season’s SEC tournament, a fan got a “2014 National Champions” tattoo. That boast raised plenty of eyebrows, but it miraculously almost came to fruition as the eighth-seeded Wildcats made a miraculous run all the way to the Finals before falling to UConn.
This year’s Wildcats open up their tournament play Thursday night against No. 16 seed Hampton in Louisville. The game is scheduled for a 9:40 p.m. ET tipoff.
