ASUs final game at Muni in 2025 is against in state rival GCU.
Grand Canyon is in a heated conference race. The WAC gives their #1 and #2 seeds a double bye in their conference tournament. 5 teams are within striking distance of earning the bye with 3 games left.
Because the WAC will be a 1 bid conference, it makes sense for GCU to not use their arms against ASU and instead set them up for a Thursday- Saturday series this weekend.
ASUs situation is a little different (in my opinion). Earning a bye in the B12 tournament would increase ASUs chances of winning the auto bid, but in a conference where 9 different teams could legitimately win the conference tournament, ASU has to be mindful of building a resume for an at large bid.
In short, this game means a lot to ASU and almost nothing to GCUs resume.
It will be the last home game for multiple Devils including lifers Tobias, Vu, Jackson, and Compton.
Go Devils
