The Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament got more exciting than most fans bargained for Friday night.

Here's a "Blogger Buzz" collection of news reports, blogs postings, Flickr photos and YouTube videos about the SEC men's basketball tournament and the apparent tornado that hit Georgia Dome doing an overtime contest between Alabama and Mississippi State.

And, oh, here's my favorite Twitter post so far: "Minarets Did not get carried away to Oz, in case you were wondering."

Fans I live in Atlanta and was at the game last night. It was chaos. Everyone panicked and there are 2 huge gaping holes in the sheet metal that lines the upper level in the dome, about 12 feet wide and 50 feet tall. I observed this as I left the dome walking to our car parked nearby behind the dome.

As is now, all the games are moved to GA Tech.

Unfortunately unless you are Media, a player, or family, NOBODY is allowed to go the game beyond them. This is very dissapointing to me as a fan, but as we drove home last night I can assure you this is smart because glass has been ripped out of tons of buildings and is littering all the streets and getting to the game would be very, very difficult.

As is UK vs UGA plays at 12. UT vs ARK at 6:00. After that MISS ST. vs winner of UGA vs UK proceeds that game making the winner of this game play twice in one day.

But I urge all you Vol fans to STAY at home if you have not already left. NO FANS are allowed into these games at GA Tech. All and all, GO VOLS! I would love to see us bring home a title and hopefully secure a 1 seed in the NCAA's!
