(00:00-26:23) – Query & Company opens on Hump Day Wednesday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing last night’s win for the Indiana Pacers behind a historic performance from Tyrese Haliburton.

(26:23-34:00) – After focusing so much on Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Aaron Nesmith’s performance in game four, Jake shifts the focus to Bennedict Mathurin by wondering if that his breakout game last night is a sign of things to come a day after what Rick Carlisle said on the morning show. (34:00-45:16) – The first hour of the program concludes with Jake taking calls from listeners about Bennedict Mathurin and the win last night for the Pacers. (45:16-1:14:45) – Former Indiana Pacers guard George Hill joins the show to recap last night’s game four win for Indiana over the New York Knicks. He comments on how Rick Carlisle’s coaching style lets the Pacers play at the level that they’re playing at right now, identifies Myles Turner as a player that doesn’t receive as much credit as he should, and reveals that was one of his first times back at Gainbridge Fieldhouse since playing. The IndyStar’s Dustin Dopirak joins Query & Company to recap last night’s win for Indiana, Bennedict Mathurin’s potential break out playoff game, believes that they will unfortunately have to move on from Mathurin because of the financial component to it, and previews what game five could look like for both teams.

He tells Eddie to give him a move the team made to test his knowledge on the timeline of events. (1:23:53-1:34:41) – The second hour of today’s show wraps up with Jake asking Eddie what is going on with Aaron Rodgers because of how much media attention he was getting at the start of free agency.

(1:34:41-1:59:15) – Another former Indiana Pacer, Austin Croshere, makes another appearance on the program to weigh in on last night’s performance from Tyrese Haliburton. Austin explains what the mindset of a player is like being up 3-1 in a playoff series, highlights why the Pacer togetherness allows them to be able to point things out during the game to one another, states that he never once felt like New York was a better team than Indiana in game one even though the Pacers were trailing by double figures, and shares why he believes so many former players are willing to return the Indianapolis to attend a Pacers game. (1:59:15-2:09:58) – Tonight the Indiana Fever take on the Washington Mystics without Caitlin Clark for the first time this season. Jake asks Eddie to preview tonight’s game and explain why they are playing in Baltimore tonight instead of the nation’s capital. (2:09:58-2:18:22) – Today’s show closes out with Jake and Eddie sharing some final thoughts on the Pacers win and admitting they find it hard to believe that the Pacers are going to lose three consecutive games.Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/query-and-company/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
