南卡羅來納州女子籃球將捍衛其背靠背的SEC冠軍

在一周內，南卡羅來納州女子籃球將在SEC女子籃球比賽中佔據地板，希望捍衛其背靠背的會議冠軍。

In a week, South Carolina women's basketball will take the floor at the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament looking to defend its back-to-back conference titles.

在一周內，南卡羅來納州女子籃球將在SEC女子籃球比賽中佔據地板，希望捍衛其背靠背的會議冠軍。

But with just two games left in the regular season, Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks (13-1) find themselves in a holding pattern with No. 1 Texas (13-1) for what seed they will be in the tournament.

但是在常規賽只剩下兩場比賽的情況下，Dawn Staley和Gamecocks（13-1）與得克薩斯州第一（13-1）的表現陷入困境。

It's a holding pattern that might not be answered until after Sunday with a coin toss tiebreaker from SEC commissioner Greg Sankey — which Staley didn't appear to be too fond of when discussing it with reporters on Wednesday.

這是一種持有模式，直到週日之後與SEC專員Greg Sankey的硬幣拋棄者之後，這可能不會回答 - Staley在周三與記者討論時似乎並不喜歡。

"If we take care of business and Texas takes care of business, our fate is in a coin toss. Yay," Staley said Wednesday.

斯塔利週三表示：“如果我們照顧商業，而德克薩斯州照顧業務，我們的命運就是折騰。

She added: "I think we should've thought a little bit more ahead of this situation knowing that we were bringing a Texas and a Oklahoma into the SEC. That's just me, though."

她補充說：“我認為我們應該在這種情況下要多一點，因為知道我們正在將得克薩斯州和俄克拉荷馬州帶入SEC。不過，那隻是我。”

As previously reported by The Greenville News' Lulu Kesin, if the Gamecocks and Longhorns go a combined 4-0 this week, both programs will be crowned co-SEC regular season champions and a coin flip by Sankey will decide who is the No. 1 seed in next week's conference tournament.

正如格林維爾新聞（Greenville News）的露露·凱辛（Lulu Kesin）所報導的那樣，如果本週的Gamecocks和Longhorns以4-0的總和為4-0，那麼這兩個節目都將被加冕為常規賽的常規賽冠軍，而Sankey的硬幣將決定誰是下週會議錦標賽中誰是第一號。

Here are the three tiebreakers that were used to get to the tie breaker, per the SEC:

這是根據SEC習慣的三個決勝局：

Since South Carolina and Texas split the regular-season series 1-1, with each team winning at their home arena, scenarios A and B are eliminated from the tiebreaker scenario. But in true Staley joking form, there is another scenario to determine the regular season title.

由於南卡羅來納州和德克薩斯州將常規賽系列賽1-1分開，每支球隊都在他們的主場競技場獲勝，因此場景A和B從決勝局場景中被淘汰。但是以真正的Staley開玩笑的形式，還有另一種情況可以確定常規賽冠軍。

"It will be a coin toss if all goes the way I'm seeing it. Texas is probably not seeing it that way, they probably want us to drop a game. I hope they drop a game too. Take it out of the commissioner's hands. It is what it is," Staley said.

“如果一切順利，這將是一枚硬幣折騰。德克薩斯州可能不會那樣看到它，他們可能希望我們放下一場比賽。我希望他們也放棄一場比賽。把它拿出來。把它拿出來。這就是它。”

The Gamecocks have won the SEC regular season title each of the last three seasons and four in the last five years under Staley, with the outlier being the 2020-2021 season.

Gamecocks在過去三個賽季中的每個賽季中的每個賽季中均贏得了SEC常規賽冠軍，在Staley的領導下，在過去的五年中贏得了四個冠軍，而離群值為2020-2021賽季。

South Carolina closes out the regular season at Ole Miss on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET and at home vs. No. 14 Kentucky on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at Colonial Life Arena.

南卡羅來納州週四下午9點在Ole Miss舉行的常規賽，並於週日美國東部時間下午2點在殖民地生活體育館舉行的肯塔基州第14號。
