The broadcast cut out abruptly as Auburn's Johni Broome spun for a layup with just over 12 minutes to go in the second half.

The feed showed a blue screen at the 12:25 mark of the second half with Auburn leading Kentucky 68-52. Auburn went on to win the game 94-78, clinching a share of the SEC regular season title, their first since 2022, and beating Kentucky in Rupp Arena for the first time since 1988.

Fans who were watching the highly anticipated clash on ABC, unfortunately, missed most of the final 12 minutes of the game after the broadcast lost both its picture and audio on the channel in the second half, first cutting to a blue screen and then a commercial break.
