With the victory at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, South Carolina secured its ninth championship at the SEC Tournament in an 11-year span. The Gamecocks' 19-point win also served as a de facto tiebreaker between the two teams.

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, their resume remains strong.
