Georgia's basketball game against Kentucky at the Georgia Dome was postponed until Saturday by SEC officials after two storms caused major damage throughout the Atlanta area.

The game was rescheduled for noon at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum. Semifinal games will also be played Saturday at Tech. Tennessee will face Arkansas at 6 p.m. and Mississippi State will face the Georgia-Kentucky winner approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first semifinal.

The NCAA will announce its field for the men's basketball tournament at 6 p.m. Sunday.

The conference tournament was delayed by 1 hour, 4 minutes, when a fierce storm hit the Atlanta area at 9:40 p.m.

The storm delayed the end of the quarterfinal game between Alabama and Mississippi State. Mississippi State eventually won the game 69-67 in overtime.

Alabama coach Mark Gottfried said "I looked up and saw everything swaying. I didn't know what it was. I just knew something was happening."

Gottfried said he wasn't afraid to send his team back onto the court.

"I didn't have any problem with it," he said. "Once the engineers, or whomever makes those decisions, determine it's safe you trust that they are making the right ones."

Alabama junior forward Richard Hendrix said he tried to contact his family during the break.

"I tried to call my family because a lot of us have family here from Georgia and Alabama," Hendrix said. "But they were hard to get a hold of, I guess because everybody was using their cell phone. I finally got a text through from my dad saying that everybody was OK."
