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 claiming another marquee road victory, ending a six-day road trip with a come-from-behind 79-74 victory over No. 8 and previously undefeated Maryland.

The No. 4 USC women's basketball team is 15-1 on the season and remains perfect in Big Ten after getting a hard-fought win when it seemed like everything was against them. Stars JuJu Watkins and Kiki Iriafen each scored 21 points, but it was the collective efforts of 'The Others' that led the Trojans to the victory with three freshmen stepping up at various times and senior Rayah Marshall closing out the game with elite defense.

Shotgun and Connor look at all aspects of the top 10 victory, briefly discuss the Trojans' 50-point win at Rutgers and look at the USC men's back-to-back losses to Michigan and Indiana that played out in similar fashions with a short-handed Trojan squad fading down the stretch. They also look at where the men and women's programs stand after a week returning to Big Ten action in the new year.

The podcasting duo also looks forward at the upcoming matchups for the men and women. The men face a pair of teams with complete opposite identity as they continue their Midwest trip with a battle against defensive Illinois and former Trojan Tre White before returning home to take on high-octane Iowa. The USC women get a much deserved return home to face off against Penn State and Northwestern.
