SEC錦標賽的第一種子是由硬幣折騰決定的

儘管在常規賽期間將所有事情都付諸實踐，但整整一年的辛勤工作都歸功於運氣。

The No. 1 seed for the SEC Tournament was decided by a coin toss, as South Carolina and Texas watched on as conference commissioner Greg Sankey decided their fate.

SEC錦標賽的第一號种子是由一枚硬幣折騰的決定，因為南卡羅來納州和德克薩斯州會大會專員格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）確定命運。

Despite putting everything on the line during the regular season, an entire year of hard work came down to luck. The Gamecocks were fortunate as they won the coin toss, meaning they'll enter the SEC Tournament as the top seed while the Longhorns will have to settle for being No. 2.

儘管在常規賽期間將所有事情都付諸實踐，但整整一年的辛勤工作都歸功於運氣。 Gamecocks贏得了硬幣擲骰，這是幸運的，這意味著他們將進入SEC錦標賽，成為頭號种子，而Longhorns將不得不成為第二名。

Both South Carolina and Texas had a 15-1 record in the conference, with both losses falling against each other. With identical records and all tiebreak possibilities eradicated due to both suffering one loss to the other, only a coin toss was left to decide the seeding.

南卡羅來納州和德克薩斯州的比賽中都以15-1的戰績達到了15-1的戰績，兩次損失彼此落後。由於兩者都遭受了一個損失，因此由於同樣的記錄和所有勝利的可能性而消除了，只剩下硬幣來決定播種。

It all came down to the last day, as the Gamecocks hosted Kentucky and the Longhorns welcomed Florida. Texas made light work of the Gators as they stormed to a 72-46 victory, and though South Carolina's game was closer, the Gamecocks won 78-66.

這一切都歸結為最後一天，因為Gamecocks接待了肯塔基州，而長角牛則歡迎佛羅里達。得克薩斯州以72-46的勝利衝進了鱷魚隊的輕型作品，儘管南卡羅來納州的比賽更加接近，但Gamecocks以78-66獲勝。

Both programs were briefed heading into the regular-season finale that a coin toss would occur should they both win, and South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley wasn't impressed. "It is what it is. I think we should have thought a little bit more ahead of this situation... that's just me though," she said.

這兩個節目都被簡要介紹了常規賽的大結局，即如果贏得了硬幣，就會發生硬幣折騰，而南卡羅來納州的主教練Dawn Staley並沒有給人留下深刻的印象。她說：“就是這樣。我認為我們應該在這種情況下再想一一點……那就是我。”

Staley was more upbeat after watching the coin toss live with her roster, and instantly turned to X to offer her thoughts. "Coin Gods were in our favor," Staley said. "South Carolina, number one seed, we've got to make it count. See y'all in Greenville!"

Staley看著硬幣折騰與她的陣容一起現場演出後，更加樂觀，並立即轉向X提出自己的想法。斯塔利說：“硬幣神對我們有利。” “南卡羅來納州，排名第一的種子，我們必須計算在內。在格林維爾見！”

The Gamecocks head coach also spoke about the coin toss during her postgame press conference on Sunday, adding: "We just watched it in the locker room, and I mean it was kind of exciting. It was, it was kind of exciting.

Gamecocks的主教練還談到了周日的賽后新聞發布會上的硬幣折騰，並補充說：“我們只是在更衣室裡看過它，我的意思是，這很令人興奮。這很令人興奮。

"And the build up was good. I know when you're part of the equation, it doesn't feel good to have your fate in a coin toss. And I didn't know that eight other sports use a coin flip... That was news to me, I feel a little better about it now."

“而且積累很好。我知道當您是方程式的一部分時，讓您的命運折騰並不好。我不知道其他八項運動會使用硬幣翻轉...這對我來說是新聞，我現在對此感覺好一些。”

Texas also reacted to the coin toss after beating Florida, and head coach Vic Schaefer instantly dismissed the importance of heading into the SEC Tournament as the No. 1 seed. "At this point, I don’t think we care who we’re going to see next week," Schaefer said.

德克薩斯州在擊敗佛羅里達州後也對硬幣拋棄做出了反應，總教練維克·舍弗（Vic Sc​​haefer）立即駁斥了進入SEC錦標賽的重要性。 Schaefer說：“在這一點上，我認為我們不在乎下週要見誰。”

"We’re just going to show up and play. What they’ve accomplished this year is amazing. I wanted this bad for them. It’s all I could think about for about two weeks, trying to get them home."

“我們只是要露面並參加比賽。他們今年的成就真是太神奇了。我想要對他們有害。這是我大約兩個星期我能想到的，試圖把他們帶回家。”

The SEC Tournament begins on March 5, though South Carolina and Texas enter at the quarter-final stage on March 7. The championship game is scheduled for March 9, and it's possible that the Gamecocks and the Longhorns could meet again.

SEC錦標賽將於3月5日開始，儘管南卡羅來納州和德克薩斯州於3月7日進入四分之一決賽。冠軍賽定於3月9日舉行，Gamecocks和Longhorns可能會再次見面。
