The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's Big Ten Tournament run, including the disappointing final 20 minutes of the championship game when the Trojans couldn't buy a bucket, blowing a 13-point lead in a 72-67 loss to rival UCLA while the Trojan men were also beat by the Bruins but in a much more embarrassing fashion.

USC freshman guard Avery Howell then joins the show. She talks about the Trojans' difficult loss in the Big Ten Tournament championship and how she thinks the team will use the loss as they move forward toward the NCAA tournament. She chats about how she has tried to fit with the Women of Troy this season despite joining the group late in the summer after being an alternate with Team Canada.

Howell also discusses her three-point shooting and the work she has put in, beginning while she was still in high school to turn that aspect from a weakness into a strength.

Shotgun and Connor then look at where both Trojan teams stand, including what the latest bracketology says about the Women of Troy's chances to be a No. 1 seed. The podcasting duo also glance forward at the upcoming potential matchups for the USC men in their Big Ten Tournament appearance, which gets underway Wednesday night against Rutgers at around 5:30 p.m. PDT on Peacock.
