Women’s SEC tournament championship live updates, highlights
It’s South Carolina vs. Texas part three for the women’s SEC tournament championship.
The Gamecocks and Longhorns are 1-1 against each other this season, with Texas taking the most recent matchup 66-62 at home. South Carolina won the first matchup between top-five ranked programs 67-50 earlier this season.
It’s also the fifth time South Carolina coach Dawn Staley and Texas coach Vic Schaefer have faced off in the SEC championship game, dating back to Schaefer’s tenure at Mississippi State. Schaefer is 0-4 against Staley in the conference championship final.
It’s a fitting end for both programs in the women’s SEC tournament, as the two teams were co-winners of the SEC regular season title and flipped a coin for the No. 1 seed of the SEC tournament, which went to South Carolina. Barring an NCAA Tournament matchup, it’ll be the deciding game between both powerhouses in 2025.
