Kentucky-Georgia quarterfinal game postponed
SEC officials will release a revised SEC men's basketball tournament schedule Saturday morning after the Kentucky-Georgia quarterfinal game was postponed Friday night due to a suspected tornado that tore through downtown Atlanta.
SEC officials are currently working on details for this unprecedented event.
The decision most likely means Georgia or Kentucky will have to play two games in one day.
The decision did not sit well with some fans, who booed when the announcement was made.
"There are several options out there and we've been in contact with all of the athletic directors of the affected schools,'' associate commissioner Charles Bloom said. "We feel we have a good handle on it.''
Bloom said he was told by Dome officials that one corner of the building was affected more than any other, but no injuries were reported at the Dome.
Along with damage to the roof, some suites in the Georgia Dome were flooded. Building engineers will survey the damage today to ensure it's safe for fans to return.
