It's time to buy, sell, hold, our Big 12 stock market report on Heartland College Sports.

0:07.3

Welcome in. I'm Pete Mundo. We are heading down the home stretch of the regular season.

0:12.9

Who's hot, who's not, we'll cover it all. And all you have to do right now is subscribe to the YouTube channel, the podcast.

So the first team I'm buying this week and how can you not the Arizona Wildcats?

0:30.1

Okay.

0:30.7

No co-opete.

0:31.9

This team is reeling after how last week went for Arizona.

0:40.9

And now you come back. You got a team that's right now playing some of the best basketball in the country without its star freshman in sole possession of

0:45.2

first place in the Big 12. They lose last week to Kansas to Texas Tech. They lose co-opete in the process.

1:40.5

about them. And if there is something that is an Achilles heel of this team,

1:46.8

it's that, but they don't need that to win. The question was, could they do it without

1:52.0

co-opete? And at least for a couple of games here, they've proven they can. And guess what?

1:57.3

When you go on the road and you beat Houston without one of your star players,

2:01.9

there's not much more you can do to prove that you're going to be okay than doing what they did on Saturday.
