UA coach Tommy Lloyd said there were two ways to look at it.
Bruce Pascoe There are reasons why high-major college basketball teams almost never venture to a low-major home court.
While the conference’s intentions were widely lauded for initiating the Pac-12/SWAC Legacy Series, an attempt to raise the platform of HBCUs and social justice issues, there was always that issue of the games themselves. Since both conferences agreed to play straight home-and-home series, that meant teams would be paired off for two-year sets, with each Pac-12 team hosting and being hosted by the same SWAC team in 2022-23 and 2023-24.
That was the Pac-12's first Legacy Series loss. Two days later, ASU lost 67-66 at Texas Southern in what Sun Devils coach Bobby Hurley called"the perfect storm." "The other thing would be like, 'Hey, you know what? If you're a school in our conference, we need to be winning those games.' I mean, that's the bottom line. I know it's easier said than done, but you need to go out and you gotta win some hard games.
By extension, that could pull down UA’s power and NET ratings, ultimately costing a seed line or two in the NCAA Tournament for the Wildcats and, maybe, a bid or two for the rest of the conference.
