Technical difficulties happen from time to time in sports television broadcasts. But the Pittsburgh and Wisconsin college basketball game on Sunday night experienced more than usual. The CBS Sports Network broadcast feed suddenly got cut and went to a black screen, then a commercial.

This was when the Wisconsin Badgers were up by six with 1:17 remaining.

Then, when the feed of the game between Pittsburgh and Wisconsin returned, there was no audio or video of the contest. The game was being played at The Greenbrier in White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia. The audio returned initially, but the video didn’t come back on with 30.9 seconds left, the video feed finally came back on.

Pittsburgh lost to Wisconsin, 81-75 on Sunday night. The Badgers were the champions of the Greenbrier Classic. Ishmael Leggett and Jaland Lowe once again stuffed the stat sheet with some excellent numbers for the Panthers. Leggett had 17 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. Lowe finished with 15 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Wisconsin guard John Tonje erupted for 33 points, seven rebounds, and one assist. Badgers big man Steven Crowl had six points, nine rebounds, and three assists.

Pittsburgh shot 50% from the field and Wisconsin shot 48% from the field. The Badgers had the advantage in free throw percentage–connecting on 82% of their shots. Wisconsin also barely outrebounded Pittsburgh 29 to 27.
