The tornado that hit the SEC Tournament last year seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Until Monday in Omaha.
As Kentucky and Creighton warm up for the second-round NIT game, word is a tornado has been spotted 10 miles. Fans have been asked to enter the Qwest Center Omaha, which, thankfully, looks sturdy.
Hopefully no updates will be needed. Actually, minutes before tipoff I hear that a tornado came within 60 miles of Omaha, but the city will not be hit.
Kentucky plans to return to Lexington tonight only if the game is lost. If UK wins, the plan is to stay overnight and then fly to Notre Dame for Wednesday’s quarter-final game.
Meanwhile, just in case, I’m tapping my ruby slippers together and saying, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home . . . “
