(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. Jake credits Haliburton for his play but also reminds people that last night’s win was a total team win despite Haliburton getting all the headlines. (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. (1:14:45-1:23:53) – Jake finds out that Eddie is working on a piece for the website as to how the Pacers assembled their roster. 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. He goes back to the early 2000’s as to why media coverage is different now, and Eddie points out something that he’s noticed the last 48 hours. (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.

Craig and Christy Winters-Scott continue their WNBA Draft preview by breaking down Notre Dame's Sonia Citron, who's being mocked to the Mystics with the No. 4 overall pick. Christy offers a detailed scouting report on Citron's scoring ability, basketball IQ, and potential as an elite defender—drawing a comparison to Craig's close friend and defensive ace, Alysha Clark. Could Citron be the missing piece to the Mystics' backcourt? Craig and Christy dive into how she'd complement Washington's current core.

With the WNBA Draft just hours away, Craig is joined by Christy Winters-Scott to discuss why USC forward Kiki Iriafen has been mocked to the Mystics at No. 3 in multiple projections. They break down what makes Iriafen one of the top prospects in the draft, from her elite footwork to her scoring touch and defensive versatility.

Craig and Christy Winters-Scott dive into the NBA Playoffs and discuss just how wide open the Western Conference is this year. The Thunder have been the favorites all season, but they now believe several teams have a legitimate shot at making it out of the West. The duo also breaks down the first-round matchups and shares which series they're most excited to watch as the postseason gets underway.

Craig and Christy Winters-Scott take a step back from the 2025 WNBA Draft to examine the broader landscape of the league's financial and structural evolution. They discuss the implications of the WNBA's new 11-year, $2.2 billion media rights deal set to begin in 2026, and how this influx of revenue could influence the upcoming collective bargaining agreement negotiations. With the current CBA expiring at the end of the 2025 season, players are advocating for a more equitable share of league revenues.

Craig and Anthony react to Elena Delle Donne's retirement announcement on Instagram and take time to give the former MVP her flowers. They reflect on her remarkable career, her impact on the WNBA and the Washington Mystics, and what made her one of the most unique and dominant players the league has ever seen.
