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 JuJu Watkins' historic 38-point, 11-rebound, eight-block, five-assist performance in USC's 71-60 home win over No. 1 UCLA last week. The duo also discusses the Women of Troy's 69-64 road win over Washington and the men's disappointing 69-66 home loss to Minnesota.

USC women's basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb then joins the show. Gottlieb reflects back on her team's Crosstown Showdown win as well as USC's Big Ten road trips throughout the season and the effect they had on her group. She talks about a potential adjustment the conference could make in the future to make the cross-country travel a little less daunting for everyone.

Gottlieb also discusses USC's case for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, the significance of a Big Ten regular season championship, how her team can improve offensively and much more.

Shotgun and Connor then look at where both Trojan teams stand and glance forward at the upcoming matchups where there are three top 25 games this week. They preview the Women of Troy's next two home games against No. 22 Michigan State and No. 25 Illinois before discussing the men's tough road trip to the East coast for games at No. 20 Minnesota and Maryland.
