Summary
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with Shotgun Spratling and Ahmad Akkaoui filling in to break down the latest news and recent struggles of USC men's and women's basketball.
The Trojan men finished the regular season dropping their final seven games after suffering a pair of humbling losses to West Coast foes, falling by 19 points at Washington after holding a three-point lead at halftime and then getting blown out by 21 against UCLA with way too much baby blue cheering in the Galen Center. On the women's side, USC dropped its fourth straight game with a disappointing single-game showing in the Big Ten Tournament, falling to Washington by 12 points after the Women of Troy scored just 20 points in the first half.
Shotgun and Ahmad break down all the latest action and look at what it will take for the Trojan men to go on a miraculous run in the Big Ten Tournament, starting with a rematch of the Washington team that just beat them soundly in Seattle.
The podcasting duo also take a look at where the USC women stand as they've slid closer to the bubble in recent weeks.

| 0:24.6 | A Cowie like Maui. |
| 0:36.7 | I'm not think I've ever actually pronounced your last name, Amad. There's too many vowels in there. I didn't want to mess it up. But I'm excited that, you know, it's a cowie like Maui now. Amad's been covering the USC hoops team all season, primarily focused on the women, |
| 0:39.9 | but also filling in from time to time for the men's games when Connor wasn't available. |
| 0:39.9 | And then when Connor wasn't available, |
| 0:43.7 | and then when Connor decided to ditch us to go across town. |
| 0:44.7 | But Amad, how are we doing today? |
| 0:51.1 | I'm doing good. I made sure to give Connor some flak last time I saw him. |
| 0:56.4 | Yeah, he was back at the Galen Center for the regular season finale for the women, |
| 0:58.1 | except he was covering UCLA. |
| 1:01.5 | So interesting switch there for Connor. |
| 1:02.7 | But we still love him. |
| 1:04.4 | Wishing the best of luck over there. |
| 1:08.7 | As I said last week, even UCLA fans deserve some good journalism. |

The USC Triple Double is a podcast focused on the Trojan men and women of Troy basketball programs. Each week during the season, we break down all the latest action for both teams and look forward to the upcoming matchups, even if the teams are struggling. |
| 1:34.5 | So unfortunately, I keep having to throw in new co-host into a pit of despair, as I've called it, |
