The Southeastern Conference announced earlier this week that an anonymous vote among women’s basketball head coaches predicted that Vic Schaefer’s Texas women’s basketball program will win the SEC Championship this season. South Carolina received the second-highest number of votes.

Notably, coaches included in the poll weren’t allowed to vote for their own team.
