Apparently a tornado hit the Georgia dome during the Miss St/Alabama game. I guess the went out and finished the game, now waiting for everything to pass for Kentucky/Georgia

Yeah this was crazy, the catwalk and everything hanging was swaying back and forth. Pretty scary to be in there I guess.

The sec tourney is now being moved to ga tech. And the kentucky georgia game was postponed. I guess whoever wins that game tomorrow will have to play again in the semifinal tomorrow night.

The last I heard is that they might play the QF game today and both semis on Sunday...and declare co-champions.

no UK and GA get screwed and ahve to play twice today. What a fair decision by the SEC!
Also, no fans allowed for the rest of the tournament to be played a GA Tech!
"Out of respect for public safety demands that are required in the aftermath of Friday's storms, access to the remaining games of the championship will be limited to student-athletes' family members, cheerleaders, bands and other credentialed individuals."
I think it's official - the SEC is run my complete morons.

The only other viable option would be to play 2 rounds Sunday, actually that might not be a terrible idea
Except that you cant finish it before 5PM, so I have no other ideas

play both semi-finals games tomorrow at 9 am, then have the title game at 4 pm or something. you could play the two semi-final games two two different arenas regardless of size since obviously the SEC doesn't care about its fans.

They made the decision to not allow fans because they were going from 40,000 fans in the Georgia Dome to the possibility of onnly 15,000 at Georgia Tech. It wouldn't be fair to choose who could go and who couldn't.

There is also a strong possibility of another storm today. If the forecast had been for clear and calm weather they could have played at the Georgia Dome.
I don't know if they still do it, but back when I lived in Illinois, the semifinals of the HS championship were always played in the morning and the final the same night.

First come first serve, let the fans decide who gets in!

Yea, and camp outside while severe thunderstorms are going through the town. That's real smart.

Doesnt matter for Kentucky at this point. 3 by Georgie with 1 second to go puts them up 1

Kentucky choked. They didn't look like they came ready to play and they didn't deserve to win this game. I wonder if this will keep them out of the NCAA Tournament now?

I think they still have a good chance theyre hot as of late and 12 wins in the SEC may keep them in over a team like Temple or maybe even VT(pending on how the UNC game shakes out)

Kentucky is in the NCAA tourney. 12 wins in the SEC will get you in.

I was in the dome when it went down. It made for some intense moments. Outside was like a war zone.

That had to be surreal being inside of a dome at a time like that.

i just saw the controversial no-call in the GA vs. UK game yesterday, and I have to agree with everyone on espn, Kentucky got robbed. They should have been at the free throw line to shoot 2. THey may not have made both, but they should have been allowed to go to the line to tie the game. Did the SEC get PAC-10 officials yesterday?!
