ESPN on ABC is the home for marquee SEC games all football and basketball season long. On Saturday, that meant the network was airing a top-20 showdown as No. 1 Auburn traveled to face No. 17 Kentucky in Lexington.
The action in that game has been positive, even if the Tigers have controlled the flow for much of the contest. However, one problem did arise in the 2nd half.
With the game in the middle of the action, the broadcast feed of the game suddenly cut out and remained out for an extended period of time. ESPN and ABC have acknowledged the technical difficulties, but it remains to be seen if the game feed will return before the contest concludes.
Needless to say, that’s not the kind of update fans of the Tigers and Wildcats were hoping for in a big-time matchup on the first day of March. March Madness is right around the corner, and fans hoping to get a look at their favorite team in action have to sit and wait just to find out if the coverage returns.
Here’s how fans and media reacted to the outage across social media:
