SEC锦标赛的第一种子是由硬币折腾决定的

尽管在常规赛期间将所有事情都付诸实践，但整整一年的辛勤工作都归功于运气。

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锦标赛的第一号种子是由一枚硬币折腾的决定，因为南卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州会大会专员格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）确定命运。

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.

尽管在常规赛期间将所有事情都付诸实践，但整整一年的辛勤工作都归功于运气。 Gamecocks赢得了硬币掷骰，这是幸运的，这意味着他们将进入SEC锦标赛，成为头号种子，而Longhorns将不得不成为第二名。

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.

南卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州的比赛中都以15-1的战绩达到了15-1的战绩，两次损失彼此对抗。由于两者都遭受了一个损失，因此由于同样的记录和所有胜利的可能性而消除了，只剩下硬币来决定播种。

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.

这一切都归结为最后一天，因为Gamecocks接待了肯塔基州，而长角牛则欢迎佛罗里达。得克萨斯州以72-46的胜利冲进了鳄鱼队的轻型作品，尽管南卡罗来纳州的比赛更加接近，但Gamecocks以78-66获胜。

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.

这两个节目都被简要介绍了常规赛的大结局，即如果赢得了硬币，就会发生硬币折腾，而南卡罗来纳州的主教练Dawn Staley并没有给人留下深刻的印象。她说：“就是这样。我认为我们应该在这种情况下再想一一点……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看着硬币折腾与她的阵容一起现场演出后，更加乐观，并立即转向X提出自己的想法。斯塔利说：“硬币神对我们有利。” “南卡罗来纳州，排名第一的种子，我们必须计算在内。在格林维尔见！”

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的主教练还谈到了周日的赛后新闻发布会上的硬币折腾，并补充说：“我们只是在更衣室里看过它，我的意思是，这很令人兴奋。这很令人兴奋。

"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."

“而且积累很好。我知道当您是方程式的一部分时，让您的命运折腾并不好。我不知道其他八项运动会使用硬币翻转...这对我来说是新闻，我现在对此感觉好一些。”

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.

德克萨斯州在击败佛罗里达州后也对硬币抛弃做出了反应，总教练维克·舍弗（Vic Sc​​haefer）立即驳斥了进入SEC锦标赛的重要性。 Schaefer说：“在这一点上，我认为我们不在乎下周要见谁。”

"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."

“我们只是要露面并参加比赛。他们今年的成就真是太神奇了。我想要对他们有害。这是我大约两个星期我能想到的，试图把他们带回家。”

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锦标赛将于3月5日开始，尽管南卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州于3月7日进入四分之一决赛。冠军赛定于3月9日举行，Gamecocks和Longhorns可能会再次见面。
