Coin-Flip Sets The Field For 2025 SEC Women's Basketball Tournament
The SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament’s number one seed was decided by a coin flip between South Carolina and Texas, who both finished with a 15-1 conference record. At halftime of the Ole Miss at LSU game on Sunday evening, Commissioner Greg Sankey did the honors. South Carolina won the coin toss, securing the top seed.
As a result, South Carolina, Texas, LSU, and Kentucky will receive double-byes to the quarterfinals. This means they’ll skip the first two rounds and start playing on Friday.
Dawn Staley, head coach of the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team, has led the Gamecocks to three NCAA Championships (2017, 2022, and 2024) and now adds her ninth SEC regular-season championship. Her teams have also won eight tournament titles. Chloe Kitts, Milaysia Fulwiley, and Joyce Edwards are just a few of the top stars for the Gamecocks.
Vic Schaefer led his Texas Longhorns to a share of the SEC regular season championship in his first season back in the SEC since he coached Mississippi State. They are the current No. 1 team in the country in the AP Poll. Madison Booker will lead a talented group into Bon Secour Wellness Arena attempting to take their first tournament championship.
