Authorities say the Kentucky-Louisville basketball rivalry boiled over at a Kentucky dialysis clinic when one patient punched another during an argument about the teams.Police Lt. Robert Swanigan said the altercation at the Georgetown clinic began Monday with a verbal exchange between Ed Wilson, a 68-year-old Kentucky fan, and Charles Taylor, a 71-year-old Louisville fan. The men were arguing about who will win when the teams meet Saturday in the Final Four."I think this is a first at a dialysis center," Swanigan told WKYT-TV.Swanigan says Wilson, who already was hooked up to the dialysis machine, flipped off Taylor, who was waiting his turn. That's when Taylor punched Wilson in the face."He just happened to think U of L would beat UK and he started to run his mouth," Wilson told WKYT. "That's what started it."http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/2012/story/_/id/7747670/2012-final-four-louisville-cardinals-fan-punches-kentucky-wildcats-fan-dialysis-clinic
