(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.
