People in Columbus missed the UK-UNC ending because of a failed weather update

North Carolina beat Kentucky in thrilling fashion to reach the Final Four on Sunday. UNC’s Luke Maye hit the game-winning jumper with just 0.3 seconds on the clock for the 75-73 win in a game that captivated everyone who saw it.

Unless you live in Columbus, Ohio of course.

Instead of seeing an ending for the ages that will go down in NCAA Tournament lore, viewers missed it because of a weather report break-in to live coverage thanks to a tornado warning in Franklin County.

What made matters worse was that the CBS affiliate in Columbus, 10TV, was having technical difficulties in their studio so the only thing viewers saw was a black screen as NCAA Tournament history was being made.

10TV only cut back to the tournament action just in time to see… the handshake line. Eep. As you can imagine there was some serious venting on social media about not just the decision to take fans away from the final seconds, but the fact that all viewers saw was a black screen. 10TV might not want to check their mentions for a while.

Imagine the uproar if Ohio State had played.
