SEC IN 20TH SEASON OF CONFERENCE PLAY
This marked the 20th season of conference play in the SEC. Women's basketball first came under the auspices of the Southeastern Conference for the 1982-83 season. Games played between SEC teams before that time are not counted in the all-time SEC standings, since there was no uniform number of conference games played each season prior to that time.

Since that time, five teams have won the SEC Championship. Tennessee leads with 11 titles, while Georgia is close behind with seven. Auburn has won four titles, with Ole Miss and Kentucky each winning one.

SEC Tournament Notes
Vanderbilt Wins 2002 SEC Tournament
Chantelle Anderson scored 18 points and Zuzi Klimesova added 16 as No. 6 Vanderbilt beat LSU 63-48 Sunday night in the Southeastern Conference tournament championship for its first title since 1995 and third overall.

The Commodores (27-6) also won the tournament title in 1993 and were runners-up to Georgia last year. They will head into the NCAA tournament having won eight of their last nine. Vanderbilt beat LSU three times this season.

Fourth-seeded LSU (17-11) upset third-ranked Tennessee in the semifinals to reach the championship game for first time since winning its only title in 1991. But the Lady Tigers, dressing only seven players, didn't have enough left against Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt's Zuzi Klimesova was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Her teammate Chantelle Anderson along with Shameka Christon (Arkansas), Temeka Johnson (LSU) and Kara Lawson (Tennessee) were named to the All-Tournament team.

The 2002 version of the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament proved to be a huge success. The four-day event drew the second largest crowd in tournament history. A total of 41,888 fans came through the turnstiles.

League Title Doesn't Equal Tourney Title...
If history has been any indication, the regular-season conference champion does not necessarily have the inside track to the tournament championship. In the past 16 years (since the regular season title has been awarded), only six conference champions have won the tournament title in the same season. Tennessee has done it four times (1994, 1998, 1999,2000). Georgia did it in 1986 and Auburn followed in 1987.

...But May Mean A Trip To The Final Four
If winning the SEC Tournament title doesn't mean enough, it definately gives foresight into a team's possible success in the NCAA Tournament as eight SEC tournament champions and six SEC tournament runner-ups have advanced to the Final Four. This statement is probably the truest measure of why the SEC is the nation's premier intercollegiate women's basketball conference. In 2000, Tennessee was co-regular season champion, won the SEC Tournament and went on to play in the National Championship game. In 1999, Georgia used it's outstanding regular season and runner-up performance at the SEC tournament to reach it's fifth Final Four. Tennessee used its performance in winning its eighth tournament title in 1998 to propel to the national championship. Arkansas also reached the Final Four in 1998 after losing in the second round of the conference tournament.

In 1995 and '96 Tennessee and Georgia comprised half of the elite field of four. Vanderbilt danced to the Final Four in 1993, after defeating Georgia in the championship game, as did Alabama in 1994, who suffered a semifinal loss to tournament champion Tennessee.

LSU bounced Tennessee in the 1991 finals but the Lady Vols rebounded to claim their third NCAA title. In back-to-back years, 1988 and 1989, Auburn and Tennesee battled in some classic matchups as the Lady Vols defeated the Tigers in the SEC title game in each season and in the 1989 NCAA championship game.

Postseason Notes

SEC Leads In NCAA Tournament Bids
Once again the SEC leads the nation in NCAA Tournament bids. The SEC is the only conference to ever have eight teams receive NCAA bids. This is the second time the league has achieved this feat, the first being in 1999.

The SEC has previously paced the pack 20 times in the 21-year history of the women's tournament. Last year, the Big 12 edged out the SEC and in 2000 the SEC and Big 12 tied.

The SEC leads all other conferences in all-time NCAA Tournament bids with 128. The next closest is the ACC with 88, followed by the Big Ten with 78.

At least six teams from the SEC have reached the NCAA Tournament in 16 of the last 17 tournaments. The league was also the first to have seven teams receive NCAA bids. The league has earned that dubious honor five times overall. Seven SEC teams danced to the postseason in 1986, 1991, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

SEC Tourney Title = Final Four Berth?
Judging from past performancs, winning the SEC Tournament title definitely gives some foresight into success in the NCAA Tournament as six of the past 12 SEC tournament champions have advanced to the Final Four, including Tennessee in 2000. The Lady Vols also did it in 1998 when they won their eighth SEC Tournament Title and their sixth NCAA title.

UT used its performance in winning its seventh tournament title in 1996 to propel to the national championship. Georgia also made a trip to the Final Four that year after losing in the second round of the conference tournament.

Vanderbilt danced to the Final Four in 1993, after defeating Georgia in the SEC Tournament championship game.

Auburn lost to Stanford in the 1990 national championship game after defeating Tennessee in the SEC tournament final.

Tennessee advanced to the Final Four in 1988 and won its third national championship in 1989 after beating Auburn in the SEC Tournament championship game both years. Auburn also advanced to the Final Four in both seasons.

In 1997, Tennessee won its fifth NCAA championship even though the Lady Vols lost to SEC Tournament champion Auburn in the semifinals of the league tournament. In 1995, Tennessee and Georgia comprised half of the elite field of four after Tennessee lost to Vanderbilt in the finals and Georgia fell to those same Commodores in the semifinals of the conference tournament. Alabama represented the SEC in the 1994 Final Four despite losing in the semifinals of the league tournament.

At Every NCAA Tournament
Tennessee and Louisiana Tech are the only two teams in the nation to grace the bracket of every NCAA Tournament since 1982. Georgia has been to 19 of 21 Big Dances. Vanderbilt and Auburn have appeared in 15 of the 21 tournaments, although the Tigers have missed the last two. Ole Miss has made it to 14.

Six Have Made It To Final Four
Six different SEC squads have appeared at the NCAA Final Four since it began in 1982. Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Vanderbilt have all made the elite field of four. The ACC has placed five while the Big Ten has placed four.

SEC First With Four In Final Four
In 1996, the SEC became the first conference to have two teams participate in both the women's and men's Final Four in the same season. Georgia and Tennessee women's teams advanced to Charlotte in 1996, while Kentucky and Mississippi State made up half the field of four on the men's side.

The 1996 Final Four marked the second time two SEC women's teams played for the national title. The first happening occurred in 1989 when Tennessee defeated Auburn 76-60 in Tacoma, Wash.

Leader in the Final Four
In the last 12 years (1990-2001), the SEC's 13 Final Four appearances is the most by any conference during that span. The Big East is second with eight while the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-10 are third with six teams each.

Conference teams have reached that plateau every year since 1989 except 1992, 1993 and 2001.

Only two other conferences can boost of the feat, the ACC (1998 and 1999) and the Big East (2000 and 2001) have both done it twice, while this year marks the first for the Big 12.

The SEC set the record with 19 bids in 1999 and again last season. This marks the seventh time in the last eight years the SEC has been at the top among the conferences in postseason bids. Both the SEC men's teams and women's teams garnered 9 bids each this season (Men's - 6 NCAA, 3 NIT; Women's - 8 NCAA, 1 WNIT).

WNIT Tournament
Since the WNIT came into existence four years ago, the SEC has had at least one team represent them. This year, Alabama made it through to the third round. The Crimson Tide defeated Missouri and Eastern Kentucky before being defeated at Michigan State.

LSU and Mississippi State were invited to compete in the inaugural WNIT. The tournament featured 16 teams in a single elimination format with every round played at a home site of a participating school. LSU hosted the first two rounds and won games over Boise State and Butler before traveling to Baylor for the semifinal round. The Lady Tigers fell to the Lady Bears 66-61.

Mississippi State opened the tournament at Baylor and suffered a 75-65 loss. The postseason appearance was only the second in school history, other than the SEC Tournament, for MSU. Penn State captured the first WNIT championship in a 59-56 win over Baylor.

In 1999, Arkansas defeated Wisconsin 76-64 to claim the Women's NIT championship. The attendance of 14,161 set an Arkansas state record for a women's sporting event and came just three days after the Lady Razorbacks drew 9,041 in a semifinal victory over Drake.

The 2000 tournament saw another SEC team in the finals. Wisconsin defeated Florida 75-74 in that game. Florida played four of its five WNIT games on the road.

Last season, three SEC teams participated. Mississippi State made it to the semifinals with wins over Georgia Tech (77-73) and Illinois (86-77). James Madison finally stopped their run with a 63-61 win over MSU. Alabama went 1-1 in the tournament with a win over Memphis (77-67) and a loss to UAB (72-84). Ole Miss made their first WNIT appearance with a 92-95 loss to Western Kentucky.
