2026 SEC women's basketball tournament: Texas ends South Carolina's conference supremacy

Conference tournament roundups: ACC | Big East | Big Ten | Big 12

South Carolina was once again the top seed in this year’s SEC Tournament, but the Gamecocks didn’t come out on top, as Texas ended their streak of three straight tournament titles on Sunday.

The Longhorns, after a dominant three quarters, held on late to grab a 78-61 win over South Carolina in the SEC tournament championship game at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. It was essentially a home contest for the Gamecocks, whose campus sits about 90 minutes southeast of Greenville. The win for Texas marked its first SEC tournament title since it joined the conference, but its third conference tournament championship in the last five seasons, dating back to its Big 12 days.
