德克萨斯长角牛队赢得了SEC常规赛冠军的一部分，与南卡罗来纳州建立了重赛

格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）手上的硬币说，南卡罗来纳州在SEC女子篮球比赛中获得了第一号种子，但他的脖子上的篮网 - 在又一次长角牛队的胜利后砍下 - 削减了一个故事 - 讲述了一个不同的故事。

The coin on the back of Greg Sankey’s hand said South Carolina received the No. 1 seed in the SEC women’s basketball tournament, but the net around Vic Schaefer’s neck – cut down after another Longhorns victory – told a different story.

格雷格·桑基（Greg Sankey）手上的硬币说，南卡罗来纳州在SEC女子篮球比赛中获得了第一号种子，但是维克·谢弗（Vic Sc​​haefer）的脖子周围的篮网 - 在另一场长角牛（Longhorns）胜利后削减了 - 讲述了一个不同的故事。

Schaefer’s Texas Longhorns are SEC champions, too.

Schaefer的德克萨斯长角牛也是SEC冠军。

And no coin flip would erase the smile from Taylor Jones’ face as she slid through burnt orange and white confetti on the court at Moody Center after No. 1 Texas smashed Florida, 72-46, on Sunday to secure a share of the SEC’s regular-season title in the Longhorns’ first season in the conference.

而且，在穆迪中心（Moody Center）的球场上滑过烧焦的橙色和白五彩纸屑，在周日德克萨斯州以72-46击败佛罗里达州以72-46击败了泰勒·琼斯（Taylor Jones）的脸上，没有硬币翻转会抹去泰勒·琼斯（Taylor Jones）的脸上的微笑，以确保SEC常规赛在Longhorns在这次会议上的常规赛冠军。

“We worked hard to get to where we’re at now,” Jones said afterward, “and I don’t think that will stop, either way the coin landed.”

琼斯随后说：“我们努力到达现在的位置，我认为硬币降落的任何一种方式都不会停止。”

Texas and South Carolina tied atop the SEC standings with just a single conference loss. The teams played each other twice and split those games. So, a commissioner’s coin toss determined the No. 1 seed for this week’s SEC tournament.

德克萨斯州和南卡罗来纳州仅以一次会议失利而将SEC排名第一。团队互相打两次，并分开了这些比赛。因此，专员的硬币折腾确定了本周SEC锦标赛的第一种子。

The toss went South Carolina’s way. Just about everything else is coming up Longhorns.

折腾去了南卡罗来纳州的路。几乎所有其他一切都会出现。

Texas rides a 13-game win streak with a team built to contend for a national title. No clearcut frontrunner exists for the national championship. Southern California, UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame and UConn join Texas among the favorites.

德克萨斯州以13连胜的比赛方式赢得了一支为争夺全国冠军的球队。全国冠军没有明确的领先者。南加州大学加州大学洛杉矶分校，南卡罗来纳州，巴黎圣母院和UConn加入得克萨斯州的最爱。

“I’m not trading my team for anybody,” Schaefer told me last week. “I love my team, I love my kids, and I’ve seen my kids do some really special things this year.”

上周，舍费尔告诉我：“我没有把团队换成任何人。” “我爱我的团队，我爱我的孩子，我已经看到我的孩子们今年做了一些非常特别的事情。”

This is the sort of team and season Schaefer envisioned when he accepted the Texas job in 2020.

当他在2020年接受德克萨斯州的工作时，这是那种球队和赛季席弗（Schaefer）设想的。

Texas has long ranked as a strong program – it’s an NCAA Tournament regular – but it last won a national championship in 1986, when Jody Conradt's Longhorns went 34-0.

得克萨斯州长期以来一直是一个强大的计划 - 这是NCAA锦标赛的常规赛 - 但最后一次赢得了1986年乔迪·康拉德（Jody Conradt）的长角牛（Longhorns）34-0赢得全国冠军。

Schaefer previously coached Mississippi State to two national runner-up finishes, and when he left that job for Texas, he declared that he was coming to make Texas great, not good.

Schaefer此前曾指导密西西比州立大学（Mississippi State）取得了两个全国亚军，当他将这份工作留给德克萨斯州时，他宣布他即将使得克萨斯州变得伟大，不好。

Now, he works just a couple of blocks away from the address of a since-demolished hospital where he was born in Austin.

现在，他距离他出生于奥斯丁的一家自行车的医院地址仅几个街区。

“I’m a Texas boy,” said Schaefer, who grew up in Houston and graduated from Texas A&M, “and, in my industry, I felt like the University of Texas was the best job in the country. I felt like coming here, this was a place where you could win multiple (conference) championships and have a chance to win a national championship.”

“我是得克萨斯州的男孩，”舍弗（Schaefer）在休斯顿长大，毕业于德克萨斯A＆M，“而且，在我的行业中，我觉得德克萨斯大学是该国最好的工作。我觉得自己来这里，这是您可以赢得多个（会议）冠军并有机会赢得全国冠军的地方。”

These Longhorns win in a variety of ways.

这些长角牛以多种方式获胜。

Last week, they gutted out a 57-26 win against Georgia by limiting the Bulldogs to 30.6% shooting. Six days later, they received 32 points from their bench while dominating the Gators in the paint.

上周，他们通过将斗牛犬的投篮命中率限制为30.6％，以57-26击败佐治亚州。六天后，他们从替补席上获得了32分，同时在油漆中占主导地位。

Texas and UConn are the nation’s only teams that rank in the top 20 nationally for both scoring offense and scoring defense.

得克萨斯州和UConn是全国唯一的球队，在进攻和得分防守方面都在全国排名前20名。

They force bundles of turnovers that jumpstart their transition attack.

他们迫使一系列失误，这些失误开始了他们的过渡攻击。

Madison Booker, one of the nation’s best players as a sophomore, teams up with Jones, a sixth-year senior, to provide Texas with a formidable frontcourt. Senior point guard Rori Harmon stirs the drink on offense and provides dogged defense.

麦迪逊·布克（Madison Booker）是美国最佳大二球员之一，与六年级大四的琼斯（Jones）合作，为德克萨斯州提供了强大的前场。高级控球后卫罗里·哈蒙（Rori Harmon）在进攻上激起了饮料，并提供了顽强的防守。

Schaefer considers this the best shooting team of his career, but the Longhorns also defend the way their coach likes, helping them survive the occasional off shooting night.

Schaefer认为这是他职业生涯中最好的射击团队，但Longhorns也捍卫了教练喜欢的方式，从而帮助他们在偶尔的射门之夜中生存。

“I believe in my team,” Schaefer said. “I’ve seen them fight for some gritty, gritty victories. They’ve shown me a level of toughness that I’m convinced on any given night, they can compete with anybody in the country.”

“我相信我的团队，” Schaefer说。 “我已经看到他们为一些坚韧，坚韧的胜利而战。他们向我展示了我在任何给定的夜晚都相信的韧性，他们可以与该国的任何人竞争。”

Schaefer won a national championship as an associate coach at his alma mater under Gary Blair, before he elevated Mississippi State to its best run of success in program history. His Bulldogs snapped UConn’s 111-game winning streak in the 2017 Final Four. Schaefer looks back fondly on his years coaching the Bulldogs and says no other job could have pulled him out of Starkville except for Texas.

Schaefer在加里·布莱尔（Gary Blair）领导下的母校助理教练赢得了全国冠军，然后他将密西西比州立大学（Mississippi State）提高到了计划历史上的最佳成功。他的斗牛犬在2017年决赛中抢下了UConn的111连胜。 Schaefer亲切地回顾了他在牛头犬的指导时代，并说除了德克萨斯州以外，没有其他工作可以将他从斯塔克维尔撤出。

Schaefer remembers a meeting with Texas’ other head coaches in 2022 after his team had reached the Elite Eight in his second season. As Schaefer scanned the room, he realized the coaches of 10 Texas teams either won the national championship or finished as the national runner-up during that athletic season.

Schaefer记得他的球队在第二个赛季达到了精英八分之后与得克萨斯州其他主教练的会面。当Schaefer扫描房间时，他意识到了10个得克萨斯州队的教练要么赢得了全国冠军，要么在那个运动赛季成为全国亚军。

“My team went to the Elite Eight, and we weren't even good enough to finish in the top half of the room,” Schaefer said. “That

Schaefer说：“我的团队进入了八强，我们甚至还不够好，无法在房间的上半部完成。” “那
