Sunday’s schedule of Southeastern Conference women’s basketball games wrapped up the regular season and finalized the seeds for the league tournament.

The 14-team bracket will begin being whittled Wednesday at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

That site makes for a short journey for regular-season champion South Carolina, which enters with the No. 1 seed and an undefeated record. The top-ranked Gamecocks are 29-0, having completed a 16-0 run through the SEC with Sunday’s home win against Georgia as they seek to repeat as NCAA tournament champions.

Their league success means they won’t be expected in Greenville until Friday, having received a double bye into the SEC quarterfinals. The next three seeds — fifth-ranked LSU (27-1, 15-1), Tennessee (21-10, 13-3) and Ole Miss (22-7, 11-5) — have the same privilege.

Last year’s SEC tournament champion is this year’s lowest seed, with the Kentucky Wildcats (10-18, 2-14) — with a significantly different roster from last season — in the No. 14 spot.
