The last time the Tennessee Lady Vols won the regular season SEC Championship was in 2014-2015. They split it that year with Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks, who won its first SEC regular season title the year before, the same year UT won its last SEC Tournament title.

When USC won the SEC Tournament Championship in 2015, it was the first time Dawn Staley won the regular season and tournament title at South Carolina, and it signaled a shift in power dominance.
