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, but was postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Challenge launched as 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 in 2023 was open to men's basketball teams of all conferences, with the Pac-12 and Big 12 as the main conferences represented. As a result of the 2021âÂÂ2024 NCAA conference realignment, the Challenge no longer featured Pac-12 teams, and instead became a small-scale spiritual successor to the Big 12/SEC Challenge in 2024. Women's basketball returned in 2024 under the name "USLBM Coast to Coast Challenge featuring the Hoopfest WomenâÂÂs Basketball Classic".
Every match-up within the Challenge has featured a team from Texas.
Originally, Arizona was to be the Pac-12 representative, but backed out due to COVID-19 protocols
