黎明·斯塔利（Dawn Staley）贏得了八次東南會議比賽

南卡羅來納州格林維爾（AP） - 自2008年接任南卡羅來納州的總教練以來，Dawn Staley贏得了八次東南會議比賽。

The Southeastern Conference women’s basketball tournament is always a tough one, but this year's event promises to be more competitive than usual.

東南女子籃球比賽總是很艱難的比賽，但今年的比賽有望比平常更具競爭力。

The conference had five teams in the most recent AP Top 12 poll - No. 1 Texas, No. 5 South Carolina, No. 9 LSU, No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 12 Kentucky. Seven teams were ranked in the Top 25, and that doesn't include 17-time tournament champion Tennessee.

該會議在最近的AP前12個民意調查中有五支球隊 - 德克薩斯州1號，南卡羅來納州5號，第9位LSU，第10號俄克拉荷馬州和肯塔基州12號。七支球隊在前25名中排名排名，其中不包括17屆錦標賽冠軍田納西州。

The SEC is so competitive that the Sooners, despite their top 10 ranking, finished fifth in the conference and didn't even receive a double bye in the tournament.

SEC的競爭力是如此激烈，以至於Sooners儘管排名前10位，但在會議上排名第五，甚至沒有在比賽中獲得雙倍再見。

“By far, the toughest. ... the toughest,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said of this year’s level of competition in the SEC tournament compared to previous seasons.

“到目前為止，最艱難。 ……最艱難的人。

South Carolina (27-3) will be the No. 1 seed for the fourth straight season after winning a coin flip with Texas on Sunday.

南卡羅來納州（27-3）將在周日與德克薩斯州的硬幣翻轉後，將連續第四個賽季排名第一。

Both teams finished 15-1 in conference play and split the season series with South Carolina winning 67-50 on Jan. 12 in Columbia and the Longhorns responding with a 66-62 victory in Austin on Feb. 9. A highly-anticipated rubber match could come Sunday in Greenville - if both teams are able to make it through the gauntlet that awaits.

兩支球隊在會議比賽中以15-1的成績和本賽季系列賽以1月12日在哥倫比亞贏得67-50的賽季賽，而長角牛隊在2月9日在奧斯丁以66-62的勝利做出了回應。如果兩支球隊都能通過這兩個球隊通過Gauntlet進行，則在周日的格林維爾舉行了高度期待的橡膠比賽。

The Gamecocks have plenty of big-game experience. They've won four of the last five SEC tournament titles and two of the last three national championships. But Staley said all of that "goes down the drain” this year given the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the conference.

Gamecocks有很多大型遊戲經驗。他們贏得了最近五場SEC錦標賽冠軍中的四個，最後三個全國冠軍中的兩個。但是斯塔利說，鑑於德克薩斯州和俄克拉荷馬州增加了會議，今年所有這些“陷入困境”。

“We have two teams that we didn't have to deal with last year and that is Texas and Oklahoma, and that will have an impact on the outcome. They had an impact in the regular season and now (will have an impact on) the tournament.”

“我們有兩個團隊去年不必處理，這就是德克薩斯州和俄克拉荷馬州，這將對結果產生影響。他們在常規賽中產生了影響，現在（將對比賽產生影響）。”

Texas (29-2) enters the tournament on a 13-game winning streak and ranked first in the country for the first time in 21 years, a testament to the job head coach Vic Schaefer has done in Austin.

德克薩斯州（29-2）以13連勝的連勝進入比賽，並在21年來首次排名全國第一，這證明了喬布斯（Vic Sc​​haefer）在奧斯丁（Austin）所做的證明。

It helps the Longhorns have one of the best players in the country in Madison Booker, who is averaging 16 points, 6.5 points and 1.6 steals per game. With Booker leading the way, Schaefer believes the Longhorns are capable of winning out.

它可以幫助長角牛在麥迪遜·布克（Madison Booker）中擁有該國最好的球員之一，他平均每場搶斷16分，6.5分和1.6次搶斷。隨著布克領先，謝弗（Schaefer）認為，長角牛（Longhorns）有能力獲勝。

“We have a three-game tournament and a six-game tournament in front of us and the gauntlet that this group’s been through, there’s not going to be anything that they haven't seen," Schaefer said.

Schaefer說：“我們在我們面前舉行了三場比賽和六場比賽，並且該小組已經參加了比賽，他們將不會看到他們沒有看到的任何東西。”
