Welcome to Hoops Tonight presented by Fandool here at the volume Happy Thursday.

2:36.0

We're going to be doing our power rankings with number 10 today and then number 9 tomorrow and then into the next week we will hit the final 8 over the course of the next couple weeks and then starting September 30th.
