South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley had some strong claims following her team's SEC Championship. While the women's conference championships are decided, they are waiting until Sunday to find out who will be seeded for the NCAA tournament.

Both South Carolina and Texas had been likely one-seeds ahead of this game. But Texas, which had held the No. 1 overall seed coming into tournament play, will likely lose that spot. It would be surprising to see the Longhorns fall off the one-line, though. Despite the 19-point loss, their resume remains strong.

While South Carolina reasserted itself as the gold standard in the SEC on Sunday, Texas was forced to settle for silver in its conference debut.
