The Ringer's Tate Frazier is joined by Jacob Myers of League Him to discuss the SEC continuing to dominate nonconference play, including Alabama routing UNC, Kentucky beating Gonzaga, and Missouri upsetting Kansas (2:09). They also discuss Rick Pitino paying homage to the late Lou Carnesecca in St. John's win over Kansas State, another dazzling performance from Marquette's Kam Jones, the Rhode Island–Providence postgame scuffle, "TV" Teddy Valentine, and Cooper Flagg living up to the hype (9:33), before talking about some players who have taken "the leap" this season, including Rasheer Fleming of St. Joseph's, and players who are squarely on NBA scouts' radars, including Derik Queen and Jaland Lowe (32:44). Finally Tate closes the show with some shout-outs and games to watch this week (48:42).
