If Indiana can win tonight,

that game will be a lot of fun tomorrow. And if IU does win tonight, I'll be rooting for whoever wins tomorrow to win Sunday. At this point, if IU can't win the tourney I hope Illinois does. It would be a great story.

And this is why I hate the waste of time conference tournament. UCLA will be lucky to get past the Sweet 16 if Luc can't play.

Wow, that's gonna be a highlight for the ages...players looking terrified up to the top of the dome, a locomotive sound, people screaming, the rafters shaking, etc.

What's crazy (and what sucks) game-wise is that once the Miss. State/Bama game ends, they're going to have to play the Georgia/Kentucky game tonight.

 

Whoever wins that game is going to be at a serious disadvantage tomorrow.

Why were they even playing if there was a tornado hitting? There probably was a tornado warning and everyone should have been getting shelter. It's not like this is LA where severe weather is rare. No reason for them to continue the game if the stadium has had parts of it fall of.

As an Alabama fan, that is a question I am asking. And IMO, the GA/Kentucky game SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED tonight. Push the tournament back a day if need be, but that crap was scary, and there is no way Alabama/MSU are going to be focused to finish the game, or GA/Kentucky are going to be confident they can get the game in. So push the tourny back, playing it tonight, doesn't make a lick a sense.

I have to think this option was discussed. Apparently all the bad weather has passed, so it should be safe for the teams to play (hopefully).

 

What would it mean for the tournament to be pushed back a day - in terms of the effect on the other teams with games scheduled tomorrow and whatever stuff is scheduled for Sunday and Monday?

The tourney cannot be pushed back. They already only finish the final game of the tourney 3 hours before the Selection Show. It would be great if they could, but there really isn't any feasible way to delay it.

 

I have been in stadiums before where tornados were near...I've never actually seen one hit it though, or have I ever seen gameplay be stopped for it. It's a pretty rare situation. But yeah, that was definitely scary.

Then this should be a wake up call to all Conferences, when scheduling your conference tournament, make sure you leave enough yourself an open date for case like what just happen tonight.

Was that close to being in or what...Miss St. wins by 2 as Alabama's 3 pointer rims in and out at the buzzer. It was very similar to the shot that tied the game in regulation, it just couldn't get the same bounce.

that was crazy. i was watching the entire time. my dad and a few family friends are down there. really crazy stuff.

 

horrible luck for both UK and Georgia, but mainly Georgia, as their overtime game didn't end until around 12:30 am last night (this morning, whatever).

Whoever plays Miss St. tomorrow is going to be at a tremendous disadvantage. They probably won't get in the bed until 3 and then they have to play tomorrow at 3:15.

The UGA/UK game has been postponed.

 

There is no currently set time for it to be made up. I'd think it'd have to be sometime tomorrow early morning.
