LEXINGTON, Ky. — The party would end abruptly, I figured, as an angry chorus howled Saturday night.

Radio broadcaster Tom Leach's voice had relayed the fourth-quarter action between Kentucky and Florida on my drive to catch the scene at near-campus bars. Could Kentucky hang on and end the 31-year losing streak? That was the question when, upon parking and running toward the party in the pouring rain, I heard a boom of negativity go off in unison.
