Winner of todays Kentucky - Georgia game...........

[Gerk]

Kentucky/Georgia winner will have to play two games today


The SEC will take the unprecedented move and have a team play twice in one day in order to conclude the storm-delayed conference tournament in Atlanta before the NCAA tournament selection announcement Sunday at 6 p.m.

Early Saturday morning, SEC director of communications, DeWayne Peevy, told ESPN.com by phone from Atlanta that Georgia and Kentucky would play at noon Saturday in a makeup of the postponed quarterfinal on the campus of Georgia Tech at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum, instead of the storm-damaged Georgia Dome. The first semifinal pitting Tennessee and Arkansas would take place at 6 p.m. while the second semifinal between the winner of Kentucky-Georgia and Mississippi State will tip at approximately 8:30 p.m.

The final is scheduled for 3 p.m. on CBS Sunday. All games will be at Georgia Tech. Peevy said the league consulted with committee chair Tom O'Connor, the athletic director of George Mason, on the decision. SEC commissioner Mike Slive is on the committee as well and was part of the decision process from Indianapolis. Peevy said since the league reaffirmed that the automatic qualifier from the SEC comes from the conference tournament then the games have to be played prior to the announcement of the selections on Sunday. Peevy said O'Connor told the SEC that if it wants to preserve its automatic qualifier among the 31 AQs that are awarded for the field of 65 then the tournament must be completed.

Peevy said the league also will limit attendance in the 9100-seat arena to only the players' families, cheerleaders, bands and other credentialed individuals. He said further announcements were pending about refunding tickets.

He said the league looked at all possible scenarios, including co-champs by playing one game Saturday and the semifinals Sunday, but were told that if they wanted the AQ then the tourney had to be completed.

Kentucky and Georgia's head coaches and athletic directors signed off on this arrangement. SEC officials had to agree to this deal because they have deemed that their conference champion is the tournament champion and thus the automatic qualifier out of the conference.

to play again this evening. Postponement of last nights game causes the winner to play 2 games in one day. Never heard of this happening before.

I merged them together as we were saying the same thing

[Midnight Rider]

OK cool!

So basically whoever wins between UK/Ga plays the Bulldogs tonight and everyone and their mother takes Miss State in the nightcap.

Since we all know a team can't possibly play or let alone win twice in the same day so Vegas overvalues Miss St and the public climbs on board the Bulldog wagon and the Ga/UK winner covers.

That sound about right?

Sounds like a possibility yank

These kids played tourneys in HS where they were playing 2 or more a day, so its not new to them

obv depends on where they set the line. Could set it high enough that it actualy gets bet down

Maybe there won't be a line for that game?
