(26:21-39:44) – Mt. Vernon’s Luke Ertel joins Query & Company ahead of the Marauders semi-state matchup tomorrow morning against Decatur Central at New Castle High School.

(34:11-46:00) – The first hour of the show concludes with Jake and Eddie discussing which NCAA Tournament games they will be locked into after the show, recapping Ivica Zubac’s five games with the Pacers, and address the report that the Pacers could select Cameron Boozer first overall.

(1:09:46-1:22:52) – The IndyStar’s Kyle Neddenriep joins Jake Query ahead of the semi-state games tomorrow across the state to preview them.
