Houston Cougars and Arizona Wildcats battle for Big 12 supremacy as Arizona faces Houston without star big man Koa Peat. Can Brayden Burries and Jaden Bradley step up against Houston’s elite backcourt pairing of Kingston Flemings and Emanuel Sharp, or will Arizona’s depleted frontcourt cost them a shot at the conference lead?

Parker Ainsworth and Leif Thulin break down key matchups, including Arizona’s defensive strategies, the impact of missing Koa Peat, and Houston’s home-court advantage after a tough loss. Discussion centers on player depth, potential game-changing performances by Dell'Orso and Kharchenkov, and how Tommy Lloyd’s tactical adjustments might influence the Wildcats’ NCAA tournament seeding. With March Madness looming, who will seize the inside track for a #1 seed?
