On Saturday, college basketball fans around the country settled in for a quality Saturday afternoon matchup between No. 1 Auburn<\/a> and No. 17 Kentucky<\/a>\u2014a game deemed important enough to make a rare (for college basketball) sojourn onto ABC.<\/p>\n

However, coverage did not go according to plan.<\/p>\n

Midway through the second half of the Tigers’ eventual 94\u201378 win, ABC abruptly cut away from the game\u2014bouncing from a different college game to NHL coverage. The switch\u2014attributed at the time to “technical difficulties”\u2014took fans by surprise.<\/p>\n

Once the game was over, a Wildcats spokesperson shared a statement<\/a> with Ryan Black of the <\/em>(Louisville) Courier Journal <\/em>outlining what happened.<\/p>\n

“The broadcast production team experienced technical difficulties during the second half of the game,” they said. “There was a fire affecting the ABC generator equipment powering their production truck. It was quickly extinguished, but it caused the broadcast feed to lose power.”<\/p>\n

For Kentucky fans subjected to Auburn guard Miles Kelly’s nine three-pointers, missing the end of the game may have been a relief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
