Big Weekend For SEC Women’s Basketball

The Southeastern Conference is giving women’s basketball the recognition it deserves. With seven teams ranked in the top 25, the race for first is going to be a fun one to watch.

This Sunday will hold some crucial matchups that just may shake up the standings.

SEC Contenders

A big win on Sunday for the Texas Longhorns (25-2, 11-1) over the South Carolina Gamecocks, propelled them into first place. Being just Texas’s first year in the SEC, the team looks to stay in control of the conference. It is no shock that the Gamecocks (23-2, 11,1) have been floating around the top all season long. With back-to-back wins in the SEC Tournament the Gamecocks are looking for a three-peat.

The LSU Tigers (25-1, 10-1) are sitting in third place with only one regular season loss. With their only loss coming to the Gamecocks, the Tigers are on the prowl looking to overtake No.1.

LSU holds three top ten scorers in the SEC with, Flau’jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Williams who all average 17 points or more. If Texas wants to pull off the upset and get the big win, the defense is going to have to step up big time.
