Arizona Wildcats Secure Big Twelve Title, NBA Prospect Peat Returns

0:00On March 1st Arizona Wildcats crushed the Kansas J-Hawks 84-61 at home. Forward Coa Pete came back strong after sitting out three games with a lower body injury. He first got hurt February 14th against Texas Tech, but the team kept winning those matchups. Players like Ivan Karchenkoff and Anthony Del Orso filled the gap nicely. Pete brings serious firepower, averaging 13.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. His efficient shooting has lifted his stock for the 2026 NBA draft, landing him on first round mock boards. Reserve guard Dwayne Aristote also returned after missing time since early February. Being at full strength late in the season is a huge boost for Arizona. This victory clinched at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title, with just Iowa State and Colorado left. A healthy Wildcats squad now eyes a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
