Summary

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's home sweep of the Arizona schools as well as the deflating and then demoralizing trip to the Bay Area for the men's basketball team where the Trojans lost a winnable game in overtime and then got destroyed by more than 30 poitns.

The Women of Troy remain at No. 10 in the Associated Press top 25 poll and at No. 16 in the NET rankings before the first unveiling of the projected top 16 seeds after defeating Arizona State and Arizona behind a pair of 30+ point performances from JuJu Watkins, who now has nine 30+ outings on the season. The Trojans remain tied for fourth in the Pac-12 standings before a challenging trip to Eugene and Corvallis. The men's team remains in the cellar, tied with Oregon State for last place in the conference standings.

Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at JuJu Watkins' elite free throw shooting. They also discuss the return of Isaiah Collier, who took over in the second half of the matchup against California, carrying the team down the stretch. They also take a look at a quiet week from Bronny James despite a loud rumor about his father LeBron James. 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 try to recover from a Stanford game where they gave up a 25-0 run with home matchups against Utah and Colorado, who have struggled on the road this season. The Women of Troy will head to Oregon to take on the Ducks and the Beavers in their arenas.

After the break, senior guard Kayla Padilla joins the show to discuss her transition from being the Ivy League's leading scorer to being a facilitator and spot-up sniper for the Women of Troy. Padilla also talks about playing alongside former Ivy League rivals and beside stud freshman JuJu Watkins and tells us about what it means to play in front of her fellow Filipino-Americans in Los Angeles.
