南卡羅來納州哥倫比亞市 - （AP） - 南卡羅來納州將成為東南部女子籃球比賽的第一種子

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina will be the No. 1 seed in the Southeastern Conference women’s basketball tournament after winning a coin flip on Sunday.

南卡羅來納州哥倫比亞市 - 南卡羅來納州將是東南會議女子籃球比賽的第一號种子，在周日贏得了硬幣翻轉。

The sixth-ranked Gamecocks and top-ranked Texas both finished 15-1 in conference play. They split their season series, leading to a coin flip to determine the top seed for the tournament, which begins Wednesday in Greenville.

排名第六的Gamecocks和排名最高的德克薩斯州在會議比賽中以15-1的成績以15-1的成績。他們分開了賽季系列賽，導致硬幣翻轉，以確定錦標賽的頭號种子，該比賽開始於週三在格林維爾。

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey flipped a coin from Birmingham, Alabama, during halftime of LSU’s game against Mississippi to determine the top seed. The flip was broadcast live on the SEC Network, and a loud cheer could be heard from the South Carolina locker room immediately afterward.

SEC專員Greg Sankey在路易斯安那州立大學對陣密西西比州的比賽的半場結束時從阿拉巴馬州伯明翰翻轉了一枚硬幣，以確定頭號种子。翻轉是在SEC網絡上現場直播的，此後立即從南卡羅來納州更衣室聽到大聲的歡呼。

“We watched in the locker room and it was kind of exciting,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “I know when you're part of the equation it doesn't feel good to have your fate in a coin flip. I didn't know eight other sports use a coin flip. That was news to me. I feel better about it now.”

“我們在更衣室裡看著，這有點令人興奮，”南卡羅來納州教練Dawn Staley說。 “我知道當您是方程式的一部分時，將您的命運放在硬幣翻轉中並不好。我不知道其他八項運動使用硬幣翻轉。那是我的新聞。我現在對此感覺更好。”

Texas players watched from their home floor after a blowout win over Florida.

得克薩斯州球員在擊敗佛羅里達州的井噴後從自己的地板上觀看。

“We can’t control the way the coin landed. It is what it is," center Taylor Jones said. "Whatever team we plays, we played before.”

“我們無法控制硬幣降落的方式。泰勒·瓊斯（Taylor Jones）說：“這就是事實。我們以前參加過的任何球隊。”

Texas coach Vic Schaefer questioned Sankey's assertion that he practiced for two hours ahead of the coin flip.

德克薩斯州教練維克·謝弗（Vic Sc​​haefer）質疑桑基（Sankey）的斷言，他在硬幣翻轉之前練習了兩個小時。

“So what was he practicing? Was he practicing for South Carolina to be heads up or Texas to be heads up?” Schaefer said. "I mean, why do you have to practice for two hours? What are you trying to get accomplished?”

“那麼他在練習什麼？他是在練習南卡羅來納州，還是德克薩斯州來到頭？” Schaefer說。 “我的意思是，你為什麼要練習兩個小時？你想完成什麼？”

This is the ninth time in the past 12 tournaments the Gamecocks have been the No. 1 seed.

這是過去12場比賽中的第九次，Gamecocks是第一號种子。

South Carolina has the advantage of playing the early game on Friday at noon EST, which gives the team more rest before the semifinals than Texas, which tips off six hours later.

南卡羅來納州的優勢是在星期五中午舉行的比賽早期比賽，這使球隊在半決賽之前的休息比得克薩斯州的休息時間更高，德克薩斯州六個小時後就可以了。

However, the Longhorns potentially have the easier path to the final.

但是，長角牛有可能更容易進入最終。

Third-seeded LSU, which a potential foe for Texas in the semifinals if both teams win their first two games, will be without star Flau’jae Johnson for the tournament with a shin injury. Johnson is averaging a team-high 18.9 points per game.

第三種子LSU，如果兩支球隊均贏得前兩場比賽，則在半決賽中對德克薩斯州的潛在敵人，這將是沒有明星Flau'jae Johnson，並因脛骨受傷而參加比賽。約翰遜平均每場最高的18.9分。
