Villanova at St. John's

[Nevadaref]

Anyone know why the home team is in the dark uniforms in this game?
Is it because Villanova is wearing gray on the road and white home uniforms would have caused difficulty?
I realize that the NCAA doesn't require the home team to wear white, but I believe that a light color is the rule.

NCAA 1-22-4 "Opposing team uniforms shall be of contrasting colors. The home team shall wear light game jerseys and game pants and the away team shall wear dark game jerseys and game pants. This rule may be altered by mutual consent of the competing institutions. Team uniform and game jersey colors shall be defined by the color of the neutral zone. The majority of the color of the game pants shall be the color of the neutral zone."

I guess they mutually consented. Just looks odd.
