No way the UT game will be over in time. They have the worst scheduling.
ESPN does it again

Why does games running over always cause a stir here? UK and any of the big name teams are always on either ESPNEWS or the tip is backed up till the other game ends. I've yet to miss a second of a UK game due to the earlier game running late.
If you have a 4K tv, the game is in 4K. It's on channel 106 on Directvvanf nothing is on before it. Don't about 4K channels on other carriers.
Halftimes are now nearly 30 mins long for ads. TV timeouts right after some replay stoppage also sucks the clock. They need to change the rule on TV TOs if they are too close to another TO.
Most of the games today have been starting on ESPNews. JUST WIN UK !
NO FOULS!!!!
UT with a big lead, just run it out!!!
I get so sick of the games before ours running over or going into OT!!

Yeah I don't get it. Games are scheduled two hours apart on every network. And yet people act like it's ESPN doing something on purpose to cause UK fans to miss the beginning of their games.

LOL, there is NO WAY the rooferee will ever be assigned a game in Rupp .
Technically but when are they ever 15 minutes? How about during our game, you time halftime and see how long it really is.
They moved the tip back to 8:10. Looks like we'll still miss the first 5 min.
This game has enough spread that it should not happen this time
Unless Texas starts making a hard come back

I know that but dude said halftime was nearly 30 minutes long. That was a stretch.
Texas getting ready to start fouling and calling timeout non stop.
I'm sure there are fans at the game or ones who aren't able to watch it live and they set the game to record. Of course they miss out on who knows how much when they try to watch/rewatch the game. I guess you have to record multiple stations at the same time if you want to watch it all.
That's if ESPNews is on their cable/satellite/streaming service (not sure if it is standard on them all). Just adding 15 minutes between games solves most of this. If the game is over early, then they can just show some highlights or interviews until the next game starts. They can even make more money in advertising.
One time Mich St did that before our game. Fouled last 4 minutes down 20. I was mad enough to stomp bunnies.
It’s isn’t a hard fix if they do 2 hour 15 minute blocks and plan for post game commentary for the games that end early…they already have those guys sitting and ready to talk anyways. CFB the networks schedules better bc it’s harder to predict runtime so they are more conservative…that’s why you typically have the post game and pregame commentary between games bc it could be 3 hours or 4 hours
If you’re at home with all your channels it isn’t a huge deal most the time….watching at non Kentucky sports bars where you can’t instantly change the channel on demand is where it’s been an issue for me… typically just have to wait for it to come on…and it never seems to be an issue with CBS but I can count on it for espn games if I’m out
I don't think Higgins has reffed a UK game since '17.
Edit- he hasn't and I doubt he ever will
Reffed some of the most epic losses in UKMBB modern history.
'05 MSU
'11 UConn
'15 Wisconsin
'17 UNC
What a piece of work that guy is
