Summary

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down USC men's basketball getting crushed at home against No. 10 Illinois and losing a heartbreaker to Oregon also at home, 71-70. The duo then discusses the USC women beating Wisconsin at home but falling to No. 10 Ohio State on the road, 88-83, in a game that was winnable for Lindsay Gottlieb's team.

In the next segment, USC women's basketball reporter Ahmad Akkaoui interviews USC center Laura Williams to discuss Williams' return from a torn ACL.

The USC Triple-Double continues with a look at where the women's and men's teams stack up nationally in multiple statistical categories before moving to a preview of a week where both programs face challenging tests. The men play at UCLA and host No. 9 Nebraska, and the women play at Penn State and host No. 2 UCLA in the team's regular season finale.

The USC triple double is a podcast focused on the Trojan men and women of Troy basketball programs. Each week during the season, we'll be breaking down all the latest action for both teams and looking forward to the upcoming matchups. We'll also try to have guests to join us on the show and we'll try to see if we can get some different people on. Maybe we'll get Laura Williams.
