The Coast-to-Coast Challenge (currently known as the US LBM Coast-to-Coast Challenge for sponsorship reasons and formerly known as the Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge) is an annual set of basketball games played in a neutral stadium. The Challenge was set to launch in 2020,[1] but was postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Challenge is a small-scale spiritual successor to the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series, which ran from 2007 to 2010. As such, it was originally contested by both men's and women's teams of the Pac-12 and Big 12 conferences, but has since been open to men's basketball teams of all conferences, with the Pac-12 and Big 12 as the main conferences represented.[2] Every match-up within the Challenge has featured a team from Texas.
