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 men's two game Big Ten win streak and the women's 95-73 victory over Penn State.

After discussing the last week in game action, USC women's basketball assistant coach Willnett Crockett joined the hosts to share more about her journey from Narbonne High School to UConn as a player. Crockett also offered her thoughts on what it's like to work with USC's post players and how special it is for her to coach a local program with such high expectations. 

On the men's side, the Trojans recorded the program's first ranked road win since 2010 when they took down Illinois 82-72 last Saturday. Desmond Claude exploded for 31 points to clinch the victory.

The Trojans led 70-60 with 5:18 to play after a Claude layup, and USC hung on despite Illinois deploying a relentless press. Claude was the hero, but Wesley Yates III and Rashaun Agee were catalysts for the upset victory too. Yates scored 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting to go along with six rebounds and two beautiful assists. Agee scored 13 points, which included making 3-of-5 triples, and he grabbed eight rebounds, which tied for the team high. 

After the Crocket interview, Claude discussed his Illinois performance on the show, and he also broke down his role in USC's 99-89 win over Iowa from Tuesday night.
