If South Carolina and Texas both win today then the SEC’s top seed in the upcoming SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament will be determined by a coin flip.

如果今天南卡羅來納州和德克薩斯州都贏了，那麼SEC在即將舉行的SEC女籃球比賽中的頭號种子將由硬幣翻轉確定。

“If we take care of business and Texas takes care of business, our fate is in a coin toss,” Dawn Staley said earlier this week. “Yay.”

黎明·斯塔利（Dawn Staley）本週早些時候說：“如果我們照顧商業，而德克薩斯州照顧商業，我們的命運就折騰了。” “耶。”

Yay, indeed.

是的，的確。

How we got here

我們如何到達這裡

The Gamecocks take on Kentucky today at 2 p.m. at Colonial Life Arena (on ESPN) while Texas completes its regular season today at 2 p.m. at home against Florida.

Gamecocks今天下午2點在Colonial Life Arena（在ESPN上）舉行了肯塔基州，而德克薩斯州今天下午2點在主場對陣佛羅里達州的常規賽。

If both teams win, and both are heavily favored, then each will finish 15-1 in SEC play and share the conference’s regular season title.

如果兩支球隊都獲勝，並且兩者都受到了極大的青睞，那麼每個球隊都將在SEC比賽中以15-1的成績和分享會議的常規賽冠軍。

But how about that No. 1 seed in the SEC tournament?

但是，在SEC錦標賽中那排名第一的種子呢？

The conference’s first tiebreaker points to head-to-head competition between the two teams. South Carolina defeated Texas 67-50 in Columbia in mid-January before the Longhorns returned the favor in Austin with a 66-62 win over the Gamecocks.

會議的第一個決勝局指出了兩支球隊之間的正面競爭。 1月中旬，南卡羅來納州在哥倫比亞以67-50擊敗德克薩斯州，然後長角牛隊以66-62擊敗了Gamecocks，在奧斯丁贏得了青睞。

The next tiebreaker — Win-loss record of the two teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary) — doesn’t break it either as both teams are tied for the top seed and undefeated against all other teams.

下一個決勝局 - 兩支球隊與第一號种子的勝利記錄（如有必要，並在14號种子上進行），這也不會打破它，因為兩支球隊都捆綁在一起，並與所有其他球隊不敗。

Unlike football, which has a long list of SEC tiebreakers before it gets to a random draw, women’s basketball’s third tiebreaker is a flip of a coin by the commissioner.

與足球比賽在隨機抽獎之前有一長串的足球比賽不同，女子籃球的第三場決勝局是專員的一枚硬幣。

“I would say imagine if it was football and it’s a coin flip, not for the who gets the ball first but who gets the first seeding in the national championship,” Staley said. “Imagine. Now, I’m not trying to throw the commissioner up by any means. It has been a part of the tiebreakers since as long as I’ve been in the SEC, and that’s what it is. It’s unfortunate it’s coming down to that.”

Staley說：“我想像一下是否是足球，這是硬幣的翻轉，而不是首先獲得球，而是誰在全國冠軍賽中獲得第一次播種。” “想像。現在，我並不是要以任何方式將專員拋棄。只要我去過SEC，就一直是決勝局的一部分，就是這樣。不幸的是，這取決於這一點。”

How to watch the coin flip

如何觀看硬幣翻轉

Not to miss out on the opportunity to draw eyeballs to what is a truly unique situation, the SEC will be televising the coin flip on Sunday.

不要錯過有機會吸引到真正獨特的情況的機會，SEC將在周日電視轉播硬幣翻轉。

The toss, which will take place at the SEC office in Birmingham, will take place at halftime of the LSU-Ole Miss game. That game is set to tip off at 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

折騰將在伯明翰的SEC辦公室舉行，將在LSU-Ole Miss Game的半場結束時進行。該遊戲將在SEC網絡上的美國東部時間4p下午4點提示。

The commemorative coin will feature a Gamecock logo on one side and a Longhorn on the other. Commissioner Greg Sankey will toss the coin in the air, catch it, and then flip it onto the back of his hand — whichever school’s logo shows up will be the No. 1 seed with the other being the two-seed.

紀念硬幣將在一側具有Gamecock徽標，另一側具有長角硬幣。專員格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）將把硬幣扔在空中，抓住它，然後將其翻轉到他的手上 - 無論出現哪個學校的徽標，都將是第一種子，另一個是兩種種子。

The Gamecocks, of course, have to take care of business against the Wildcats first in what will be an emotional Senior Day at CLA.

當然，Gamecocks必須首先在CLA的情感大四時對野貓隊進行業務照顧。

“Hopefully, we can take care of it,” Staley said. “I look forward to the coin toss at this point because that means we won. So it is what it is at this point. We going to call up to the coin guys to see if they can, and we take care of business that it flips over on the Gamecocks’ side.”

“希望我們能照顧好它，”斯塔利說。 “我期待著這一刻的硬幣，因為這意味著我們贏了。因此，這就是這一點。我們打電話給硬幣的傢伙，看看他們是否可以，我們要照顧好的業務，因為它在Gamecocks的一邊翻轉了。”

If South Carolina is the one-seed then the Gamecocks will open SEC tournament play at noon on Friday (ESPN), while the two-seed would put them with a 6 p.m. start on Friday.

如果南卡羅來納州是單種子，那麼Gamecocks將在周五中午（ESPN）開幕SEC錦標賽，而兩種種子將在周五下午6點開始。
