FAYETTEVILLE -- John George, public address announcer for University of Arkansas basketball games for 42 seasons who has handled the same duties at the SEC Tournament for 14 years, figured nothing could come close to matching what he experienced in 2008.
A tornado tore through downtown Atlanta the night of March 14 as the last quarterfinal game was being played in the SEC Tournament and damaged the Georgia Dome roof.
The decision was made to move the 2008 SEC Tournament semifinals and championship game to Georgia Tech's Alexander Coliseum, where Georgia beat Arkansas to win the title.
