The Ringer's Tate Frazier is joined by Eamonn Brennan to discuss the no. 9 ranked Saint John's and Rick Pitino’s impressive start to the season, the SEC's supremacy and an exciting matchup approaching between no. 1 Auburn and no. 2 Alabama, and the Clemson Tigers knocking off Duke and UNC in just a few days (1:47). Then they discuss Dick Vitale's return to broadcasting more than two years after stepping away for health reasons, Cooper Flagg slipping into a turnover in Duke's loss to Clemson, Jase Richardson's 29-point performance in an emotional Michigan State win for Tom Izzo, Indiana's looming head coach vacancy, and more (23:05). Finally, Tate closes the show with a few words on Hubie Brown, games to watch this week, and shout-outs (48:56).
