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.

如果今天南卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州都赢了，那么SEC在即将举行的SEC女篮球比赛中的头号种子将由硬币翻转确定。

“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）本周早些时候说：“如果我们照顾商业，而德克萨斯州照顾商业，我们的命运就折腾了。” “耶。”

Yay, indeed.

是的，的确。

How we got here

我们如何到达这里

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点在Colonial Life Arena（在ESPN上）举行了肯塔基州，而德克萨斯州今天下午2点在主场对阵佛罗里达州的常规赛。

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.

如果两支球队都获胜，并且两者都受到了极大的青睐，那么每个球队都将在SEC比赛中以15-1的成绩和分享会议的常规赛冠军。

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

但是，在SEC锦标赛中那排名第一的种子呢？

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.

会议的第一个决胜局指出了两支球队之间的正面竞争。 1月中旬，南卡罗来纳州在哥伦比亚以67-50击败德克萨斯州，然后长角牛队以66-62击败了Gamecocks，在奥斯丁赢得了青睐。

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.

下一个决胜局 - 两支球队与第一号种子的胜利记录（如有必要，并在14号种子上进行），这也不会打破它，因为两支球队都捆绑在一起，并与所有其他球队不败。

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.

与足球比赛在随机抽奖之前有一长串的足球比赛不同，女子篮球的第三场决胜局是专员的一枚硬币。

“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说：“我想像一下是否是足球，这是硬币的翻转，而不是首先获得球，而是谁在全国冠军赛中获得第一次播种。” “想象。现在，我并不是要以任何方式将专员抛弃。只要我去过SEC，就一直是决胜局的一部分，就是这样。不幸的是，这取决于这一点。”

How to watch the coin flip

如何观看硬币翻转

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.

不要错过有机会吸引到真正独特的情况的机会，SEC将在周日电视转播硬币翻转。

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.

折腾将在伯明翰的SEC办公室举行，将在LSU-Ole Miss Game的半场结束时进行。该游戏将在SEC网络上的美国东部时间4p下午4点提示。

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.

纪念硬币将在一侧具有Gamecock徽标，另一侧具有长角硬币。专员格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）将把硬币扔在空中，抓住它，然后将其翻转到他的手上 - 无论出现哪个学校的徽标，都将是第一种子，另一个是两种种子。

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

当然，Gamecocks必须首先在CLA的情感大四时对野猫队进行业务照顾。

“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.”

“希望我们能照顾好它，”斯塔利说。 “我期待着这一刻的硬币，因为这意味着我们赢了。因此，这就是这一点。我们打电话给硬币的家伙，看看他们是否可以，我们要照顾好的业务，因为它在Gamecocks的一边翻转了。”

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.

如果南卡罗来纳州是单种子，那么Gamecocks将在周五中午（ESPN）开幕SEC锦标赛，而两种种子将在周五下午6点开始。
