| 0:00.0 | stock up, stock down. Let's talk about the Big 12 teams trending in the right direction. |
| 0:06.2 | Those teams trending in the wrong direction. And then I'll give you a couple of teams that I'm holding. |
| 0:11.6 | We call it buy, sell, hold right here on Heartland College Sports. I'm Pete Mundo. |
| 0:16.6 | Thanks for joining us. If you're new, if you're a Big 12 or college basketball fan, |
| 0:20.6 | now is the |
| 0:21.2 | time to get in, subscribe to the channel. We appreciate to being here as always. So the first |
| 0:27.0 | team I'm buying this week is Iowa State. After a two-game losing streak a few weeks ago, |
| 0:34.0 | Iowa State has quietly put together five straight wins. Now, it's five games they should have |
| 0:39.8 | one. It's UCF, it's Colorado, it's K-State, it's Baylor. It's, it's, let me see, UCF, Oklahoma State, |
| 0:49.0 | Colorado, K-State, Baylor. Those are the five straight games. On Saturday in the Baylor |
| 0:53.6 | game, you might look at the box |
| 0:55.5 | score and be like, oh, 7269. It was not a close game. Baylor had a nice little run over the |
| 1:01.3 | final two minutes. That was it. Iowa State is quietly getting back into championship mode. |
| 1:09.1 | And they're not getting enough credit for it. And I'll explain more as to |
| 1:13.1 | the why behind that coming up here in a couple of minutes. But they're a team that's just sitting |
| 1:18.5 | there right now, eight and two in the league, game back of Houston, two games back of Arizona. |
| 1:24.3 | They have huge opportunities coming up against Kansas and Houston and Texas Tech |
| 1:29.9 | and Arizona. They're playing all those teams. I hate the cliche because it actually doesn't make |
| 1:36.5 | sense, but it's the first thing that came to mind. They control their own destiny. You can't |
| 1:42.7 | control destiny. That's why I hate the cliche, but it came to my mind. It was on the tip of my tongue, so I'm just saying it. But you get the point. They are playing all the teams they have to beat to win the Big 12 regular season title. They're all sitting there right in front of them. Okay? And they're starting to get back to the team that they were a few |
| 2:02.5 | weeks ago. And you know what? They're doing it in very impressive fashion. So I'm looking at this |
| 2:07.7 | team right now and I see guys like Joshua Jefferson doing their thing, right? You see Milan doing |
