Summary
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the first basketball-only podcast to be a part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down an undefeated week for the USC men's and women's basketball teams. USC men's assistant coach Jay Morris joins the show to discuss what has led to the Trojans' recent surge and what they will have to do to continue playing well. He also discusses his path to becoming an assistant at USC and how his Southern California roots are used on the recruiting trail.
The Women of Troy remain ranked No. 9 after a pair of wins over the Oregon schools last week. They were able to hold off three last-second attempts from Oregon State to win 56-54, handing the Beavers their first loss of the season, and then USC was able to finish on an 18-5 run against Oregon to pull away for a 14-point win.
The men's team has its first winning streak since November after defeating both of the Bay Area schools last week at the Galen Center. The Trojans played some of their best offensive basketball of their season, sharing the basketball for high assist totals whilst rarely turning the ball over. Coincidentally, Kobe Johnson and Isaiah Collier seemed to break out of some winter malaise that had struck both guards.
Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at former No. 1 overall recruits JuJu Watkins and Isaiah Collier, focusing the spotlight on Bronny James and looking at exactly where the Trojans stand statistically and in the standings. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they complete their three-game home swing on Wednesday against Washington State before taking off on a potentially make-or-break road trip to Colorado and the Arizona schools while the Women of Troy prepare for their Sunday rematch with the No. 2 UCLA two weeks after falling to the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion.
