SEC Plans Ticket Refund

Thanks to weather like this:
The SEC Tournament had some issues to deal with. But thanks to some (divine?) intervention and some hard-nosed play, the Georgia Bulldogs, a team no one picked to win the thing, won, beating Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Arkansas in the process (all NCAA Tournament teams).
Due of the weather, the SEC Tournament was moved from the Georgia Dome to Georgia Tech’s home court, which is a much smaller arena than the initial location. Because of that, crowds in the relocation arena were severely limited, meaning thousands of people are looking for some satisfaction from the NCAA and the SEC. Well, worry not. According to Jerry Tipton, the SEC is on it:
REFUNDS FOR SEC MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTATLANTA, Ga.—The Southeastern Conference and its 12 member institutions are currently working on a refund process for the 2008 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament. Fans will be informed through www.SECsports.com as well as the official internet sites of the 12 SEC member institutions as information comes available.
The SEC advises fans to retain any unused tickets for the 2008 tournament.
Congratulations are certainly in order for Georgia. Regardless of their regular season record, their defensive effort in all four tournament game wins (matching their regular season SEC wins) could not be denied. Enjoy your trip to the Dance, guys… and congrats on saving Dennis Felton’s job at least for one more season.

Nice job UGA. Four impressive wins ( Three of those in about 30 hours) in three days was a Herculean effort that was rewarded with, IMO, a relatively easy bracket. I haven’t seen Xavier play that much this season but I think the Bulldogs have a decent shot at knocking them out of the tourney.

[...] I’d like you to meet the first 20-loss team to make the NCAA Tournament, a designation that actually steals some spotlight away from Georgia and their unlikely bid. [...]
