(00:00-28:57) – Query & Company opens on a Thursday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison talking about Bennedict Mathurin’s performance last night against the Indiana Pacers in his first game against the team that drafted him. Jake also comments on the wins for Purdue and Indiana last night in their second to final regular season game before the Big Ten Tournament. (28:57-34:32) – Whilst at the gym last night, someone approached Jake to have a conversation about the Indianapolis Colts, specifically the futures of Alec Pierce and Daniel Jones. He shares what that conversation entailed because there was a different aspect to the situation that he hadn’t considered. (34:32-45:05) – GoldAndBlack.com’s Brian Neubert rounds out the first hour of the show to discuss last night’s nail-biting victory for the Purdue Boilermakers against the Northwestern Wildcats. Jake asks Brian what type of team could really give Purdue fits in the NCAA Tournament, if there is a defensive coverage that Braden Smith hasn’t seen during his collegiate career, and why C.J. Cox had a career night last night in Evanston. (45:05-1:09:13) – The NCAA Tournament is just around the corner and it got Jake thinking. What if there was another way for a team to receive an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament? He proposes his idea to Eddie. Plus, could AJ Dybansta stay at BYU for another season? Jake claims that you shouldn’t rule that possibility out. (1:09:13-1:21:52) – IndyCar Radio Network Driver Analyst, Davey Hamilton, joins Query & Company to preview this weekend’s race for IndyCar in Phoenix for the first time since 2018. Jake also asks Davey about what makes Alex Palou so dominant, if he has ever seen a driver in a zone like Palou is right now and goes back to losing out to Helio Castroneves in the 2021 Indy 500 because that could have changed his approach in the cockpit. (1:21:52-1:27:52) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with Jake and Eddie discussing the Chicago Bears trading D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills. Is that good news for the Colts? (1:27:52-1:54:08) – Horizon League Interim Commissioner, Chris Neuman, joins Jake Query ahead of the men’s and women’s basketball tournament at Corteva Coliseum this weekend. Jakea asks her about her experience this year as the interim commissioner of the Horizon League, what she enjoys the most about the position, and her future with the league with the next commissioner being decided already. (1:54:08-2:11:50) – Jake pays tribute to the late great Lou Holtz by sharing some tidbits of information that he has learned about the former Notre Dame head coach over the years. Former Fighting Irish & NFL defensive back, Jeff Burris, calls into the program to share how Holtz recruited him to Notre Dame, if he ever addressed his one failure in front of the guys, and shares what he’s doing now that mimics what his college coach would preach to him as a player. (2:11:50-2:14:55) – Today’s show closes out with JMV joining Jake Query to preview his show!Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/query-and-company/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: RMU basketball head coach Andy Toole joins as RMU is going to the Horizon League semifinals. Last year's team was more athletic than this season and this year's team is about helping each other and make the right decisions. Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now has reported that the NHL has still not approved Fenway Sports Group's sale of the Penguins to the Hoffman Family. Should Kyler Murray play baseball? Joey Bart is taking ground balls at first base.

This game ended up being very fun, it went down to the wire... and better yet is a lesson that the game is never over!

Robert Morris men's basketball coach Andy Toole joined the show. Andy's Colonials are the 2-seed in their conference tournament, which begins tomorrow night. Poni has bet on them to get back to the big dance. Andy mentioned that tomorrow night is free beer night at the arena – for everyone's first drink. Andy talked about what is working this season. Andy got into the pace of the Horizon League and how his team has adjusted as the season has progressed. Andy told the guys about a few players that helped form this year's team, after losing a ton of players from the team that made it to the NCAA Tournament in 2025. Andy talked about picking his spots with hard coaching since players can up & leave the moment they get their feelings hurt. The guys asked Andy about working with his team in-game as it differs each year in this era of college athletics. Andy is hip to one of the fastest rising social media pages highlighting former college hoopers.

March doesn't feel as fun when Pitt basketball is at such a low point. The Panthers are at risk of missing the ACC tournament, which only requires you to be a top 15 team in the conference. The women's coach just fired its coach, which looks like another bad hire made by Heather Lyke. How did all of these coaches get such good job security? Somehow Lyke is continuing to get and be up for jobs in sports. Robert Morris men's basketball coach Andy Toole joined the show.

@1QLeadership Question: What exactly is the problem in college athletics? Sean Frazier, VP of Athletics and Recreation at NIU, discusses how and why the Huskies is restructured its conference affiliations, and also explores how new financial models can help sustain athletics without burdening the institution.   Frazier explains NIU's strategy to "decouple" football from its traditional all-sports conference, moving football to the Mountain West, Olympic sports to the Horizon League, and wrestling to the Pac-12 to reduce travel costs, increase media revenue, and better align regionally while maintaining academic and athletic standards   He describes the financial and strategic logic behind this model, including regional scheduling savings, expanded media markets, and using new conference affiliations to enhance both the university's athletic profile and potential academic and research partnerships   The discussion also explores private capital and private equity in college sports, distinguishing capital from equity, examining venture-capital-style investment, and emphasizing the need for entrepreneurial thinking and stronger governance to address new expenses like revenue sharing and NIL without compromising core academic values   A frequent guest on 1Q, Frazier has always thought strategically, and creatively, about the intercollegiate athletics community and how to position all involved for success. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown

Sean Frazier joins to talk about Northern Illinois athletics and the future of the AD position in college athletics. Frazier starts the conversation explaining the strategy behind moving football to the Mountain West while keeping other sports regional with the Horizon League. Will they miss MACtion weeknight games? Sean expresses his concern about outsiders coming into the profession without having an understanding of higher education and the importance of realizing that forgetting about any individual sport could cause an AD to lose their job. Frazier discusses what metrics he thinks are most critical when he is evaluating head coach searches. The conversation shifts to the College Football Playoff and Sean shares his opinion on expansion and the idea of a G6 playoff alongside the CFP.

Our resident Horizon League expert, Drew Gentile, joins the episode to chat with Ian Sacks and Isaac Bourne about what has transpired in the league throughout the first two and a half weeks of the season.

Rob Summers is in his first season as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Cleveland State University. An Ohio native, Summers spent 2019-2022 with Cleveland State as an assistant coach, where he helped CSU win the Horizon League and make its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2009. CSU advanced to the postseason twice during his first stint with the Vikings. Most recently, Summers joined former Cleveland State head coach Dennis Gates' staff at the University of Missouri for the 2024-25 season, where he served as the team's offensive coordinator. Prior to joining the Tigers, Summers spent two seasons at Miami (Ohio) as associate head coach, where he helped the program achieve its highest Mid-American Conference finish in 10 seasons. Summers also served as an assistant coach at James Madison, three years as the head coach of Division II Urbana (Ohio) and two years at Glenville State as associate head coach. As a player, Summers played two seasons at Penn State before transferring to West Virginia, where he helped WVU reach the sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament as a junior and win a NIT Championship as a senior. He played professionally in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. On this episode Mike & Rob discuss his vision for the Cleveland State Men's Basketball Program, emphasizing the importance of a transformative approach to coaching rather than a transactional one. He reflects on his journey, including previous roles and the experiences that have shaped his coaching philosophy. Central to his strategy is fostering a strong community connection and ensuring that players develop not only on the court but also as individuals. The discussion delves into the significance of building a cohesive team and creating an environment where players feel valued and engaged. Ultimately, Summers seeks to cultivate an atmosphere of growth, accountability, and excitement surrounding Cleveland State Basketball, aiming for success both in terms of wins and character development.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you're subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and while you're there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.

First up is legendary instructor Jim McLean, one of the most decorated teachers in golf history and a 2025 inductee into the PGA of America Hall of Fame. Jim reflects on the honor, his extraordinary playing career that included being one of the rare players to ever play in the U.S. Junior AM, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Open, and U.S. Senior Open. He was a part of the UH team that won the 1970 Natty. As an Instructor, he was an early adopter of technology like video analysis and TrackMan. We talk about all of that plus his student James Nicholas, who impressed at this year's U.S. Open at Oakmont by shooting an opening round 69. Jim also shares lessons from his archives, the debate around “swinging left,” and what he's most looking forward to at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage. Then I catch up with my favorite college golf coach, Robert Morris Head Men's Golf Coach Steve Shingledecker. Steve has transformed the Colonials into a rising contender. We revisit their best-ever Horizon League finish, the confidence it created, and standout play from Chuck Tragresser, who earned his first win at the Western PA Spring Stroke Play and finished runner-up at the WPGA Open. Steve updates us on the hard work the rest of the team's roster has put in that will have them contending this season for tournament titles and individual medalist honors. We break down their fall and spring schedule, plus Steve shares how the energy started by the RMU basketball team's run in the NCAA tournament is fueling excitement around the golf program. Two great conversations this week filled with stories, lessons, and inspiration for players and fans alike.
