Show notes

(00:00 - 23:00) - Indiana High School sports reporter for the Indy Star Kyle Neddenrip joins the show to talk IHSAA State Finals taking place this weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The conversation starts with Neddenrip recalling Indiana players he covered that are now in the NCAA Tournament, like Florida Atlantic's leading scorer Johnell Davis out of Gary, IN. Ben Davis is currently on a history making run in Indiana basketball. They will face Kokomo, and if they win will acheive an undefeated championship season. Speculation on if Markus Burton is a lock for Mr. Indiana Basketball. This year the state tournament saw a change back to its original format. Regionals being one game and Semi-States having two games in a day. Neddenrip says that the change was not received too well this year but in time people will adapt to it.

(23:01 - 39:54) - Tony East, the Sports Illustrated writer for the Pacers joins the show and talks about their unfortunate loss to the Charlotte Hornets and how it may eliminate them from a chance at playing in to the post season. East believes that the Pacers are playing a lot of young members right now not just due to team injuries, but as an audition for the future of the team. Nembhard and Nwora seem to be standouts to become key pieces of the Pacer's rotation next season. Both the backup centers in Jalen Smith and Isiah Jackson have faltered this season, according to East, and may have fewer minutes or become a higher trade piece next season. Can the Pacers intrigue Tyrese Haliburton to sign a 5-year max deal when his contract comes up. TJ McConnell was a passenger in a Rick Carlisle flown a plane to watch Xavier in Greensboro before heading to Charlotte for the game.

Kevin & Query - Tuesday 03/21 - IU Women's team eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, Pacers lose to the Charlotte Hornets, Tony East and Kyle Neddenrip call in to the show. Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

(00:00 - 29:24) - Kevin and Query open up the Tuesday show with a recap of the Pacers loss to the Charlotte Hornets last night. Indiana lead by a large margin in the 1st quarter and slowly let the lead slip throughout the rest of the game. Jake gave a speech at the Indiana Officials Association banquet last night. The IU women's team and men's team each lost to Miami in their respective NCAA tournaments. This is the 10th time in tournament history this has occurred. The "arena" of college athletics has changed, not just due to NIL, but because players can now be more vocal in their desires to leave schools. There are some college coaching availabilities this year for basketball teams. Penn State's Micah Shrewsberry might be available, is he a fit for Notre Dame? Colts Free Agency has gone quiet in the second week.

(29:25 - 33:26) - Morning Checkdown

(33:27 - 45:25) - Colts owner Jim Irsay like a tweet over the weekend about Indianapolis pursuing Lamar Jackson. The Colts have not rules out giving Jackson an offer, but have yet to take any steps towards signing him per Stephen Holder of The Athletic. How many years of prime Lamar Jackson are left and is it worth the money that Jackson is clearly looking for in his contract. Would it be worth it to run into a cap space issue as the Colts will likely want to extend Jonathan Taylor when his contract comes up. Right now Indianapolis should be looking to be on the upswing just as several teams in the league are approaching their down swing.

(45:26 - 1:13:41) - Indiana High School sports reporter for the Indy Star Kyle Neddenrip joins the show to talk IHSAA State Finals taking place this weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The conversation starts with Neddenrip recalling Indiana players he covered that are now in the NCAA Tournament, like Florida Atlantic's leading scorer Johnell Davis out of Gary, IN. Ben Davis is currently on a history making run in Indiana basketball. They will face Kokomo, and if they win will achieve an undefeated championship season. Speculation on if Markus Burton is a lock for Mr. Indiana Basketball. This year the state tournament saw a change back to its original format. Regionals being one game and Semi-States having two games in a day. Neddenrip says that the change was not received too well this year but in time people will adapt to it.

(1:13:42 - 1:25:50) - A week into free agency for the Indianapolis Colts, Kevin and Query break down the new signings and how the Colts camp has gone silent entering week two. Is Gardner Minshew ANOTHER stop gap quarterback? What happens if we have to wait another year to acquire a franchise quarterback. Minshew checks a lot of boxes for Indianapolis and seems to be a sufficient starter for the start of the season. The guys are a bit disappointed in how Indianapolis has slowed down so early into free agency when there are so many holes that still need filled.

(1:25:51 - 1:33:57) - Callers start to join in the conversation on Colts free agency. A season ticket holder will not be renewing this season, another caller doesn't know why the team or Lamar Jackson would risk pairing up.

(1:33:58 - 2:01:17) - Tony East, the Sports Illustrated writer for the Pacers joins the show and talks about their unfortunate loss to the Charlotte Hornets and how it may eliminate them from a chance at playing in to the post season. East believes that the Pacers are playing a lot of young members right now not just due to team injuries, but as an audition for the future of the team. Nembhard and Nwora seem to be standouts to become key pieces of the Pacer's rotation next season. Both the backup centers in Jalen Smith and Isiah Jackson have faltered this season, according to East, and may have fewer minutes or become a higher trade piece next season. Can the Pacers intrigue Tyrese Haliburton to sign a 5-year max deal when his contract comes up. TJ McConnell was a passenger in a Rick Carlisle flown a plane to watch Xavier in Greensboro before heading to Charlotte for the game.

Kevin & Query - Monday 03/20 - A Recap of the Less Than Stellar Weekend for IU and Purdue in the NCAA Tournament. Bob Kravitz joins the show. Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

(00:00 - 28:04) - How else could the Monday edition of Kevin & Query open than with the disappointing losses of Indiana and Purdue in the NCAA Tournament. Purdue being only the second #1 seed to fall to a #16 seed in the tournament. Jake comments on how Big Ten teams get too used to the Big Ten competition which doesn't translate to opponents from other conferences. The Boilermakers last loss was a flashback to last season when they were upset by another double-digit seed in St. Peters. Purdue got off to such a strong start because their star players experienced a huge bump in skill from last season, but once teams were able to adapt, they didn't have that same advantage. The IU Hoosiers just didn't play like a team that wanted to be there against Miami. The team didn't take advantage of what is likely their last season before a hard reset. Kevin & Query think that pretty much every IU star will be either graduating or declaring for the NBA Draft by next season.

(28:05 - 32:32) - Morning Checkdown

(32:33 - 45:27) - The first hour closes with speculation over whether or not Matt Painter will continue to be the Boilermakers head-coach next basketball season. Query believes that Painter's consistency in the regular season is testament enough to keep him for another season. Player development and high-profile wins are clearly a strength of Painter, and figuring out March is just the final step. Kevin thinks that some sort of late season gameplan change is necessary to become a strong and unpredictable team. What percentage of Purdue fans truly want Matt Painter fired?

(45:28 - 1:14:00) - Miami always had an answer for IU last night. The Hoosiers just never had a leg up from the word go and it showed. IU fans went all in on this tournament and to see players potentially not be as invested as you are in the team's success is a disappointment. Callers have a lot to weigh in on regarding Purdue. Calls range from Painter acquiring some more athletic players in the coming seasons, to questions about Painter's ability to compete in the world of NIL. Does being able to develop players really matter in a world where they can just choose to leave for more money the next season?

(1:14:01 - 1:28:53) - Jake debuts his pick for a Sweet Sixteen matchup by putting on a shirt from that college. He predicts an Arkansas victory over UConn tonight. Kevin and Query go over all the possible matchups with some banter on who they predict will be making an Elite Eight appearance. San Diego State has been a surprise this season holding both their opponents in the tournament to season lows in scoring. The Fairleigh Dickinson head-coach has stated in the past the Notre Dame is his dream job, after the Purdue upset is that more of a reasonable idea? Query believes that UMBC's upset victory was still a bigger surprise than Fairleigh Dickinson's upset over the Boilermakers. Talk returns to the Hoosiers and how their players just fell flat on every opportunity against Miami.

(1:28:54 - 1:32:32) - Touch and go segments teasing the upcoming interview with Bob Kravitz and updates on Kevin and Query's brackets.

(1:32:33 - 2:03:27) - Bob Kravitz of The Athletic joins the program to talk about the NCAA Tournament Action. Kravitz predicted that IU would be in the tournament longer than Purdue, but didn't think that Fairleigh Dickinson would be the ones to send them packing. Kravitz thinks that Purdue needs guards in order to become a team that can compete outside of just the Big Ten. He is confident that Matt Painter will become a dominant coach at some point but needs to re-evaluate his recruiting to get there. Query transitions to IU talk and asks Kravitz what the Hoosiers will need to do in order to compete next season. Kravitz says the answer is the transfer portal. Freshman won't solve the problem IU is facing, so transfers are going to be the only way to continue their competitive streak. Kevin wants to know Bob's thoughts on Colts free agency. Kravitz is interested in the fact that Indianapolis spent so much on a kicker, which there is value in since so many NFL games come down to 3 points now.

(2:03:28 - 2:12:08) - Pop Quiz

(2:12:09 - 2:19:17) - Closing talk, warm weather coming up in the week, St. Patrick's Day recap. Which college basketball coaches are up for grabs after this season concludes?
