ATLANTA - Fans will not be allowed into Georgia's game with Kentucky today, which has been rescheduled.

The Southeastern Conference announced that the remaining schedule of the 2008 SEC Basketball Tournament is as follows:

Saturday, March 15
Game 8 - Georgia vs. Kentucky - 12 p.m. ET
Game 9 - Tennessee vs. Arkansas - 6 p.m. ET
Game 10 - Mississippi State vs. Winner of Game 8 - 8:30 p.m. ET

Sunday, March 16
Game 11 - Championship Game (Winner Game 9 vs. Winner Game 10) - 3 p.m. ET

This format is based on an agreement between athletic directors and head coaches of the participating institutions after consultation with Tom O'Connor, chair of the Division I  Men's Basketball Committee. O'Connor reaffirmed that since the league decides it automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament by its conference tournament champion, the competition must be completed prior to the announcement of the NCAA championship field.

Because of damage to the Georgia Dome caused by severe storms in Atlanta on Friday night, the remaining games of the SEC Basketball Tournament will be played at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, on the campus of Georgia Tech University. Arrangements for television broadcast will be announced as soon as they become available.   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.
