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 Trojan men getting another tough road win defeating Nebraska 78-73 and the Women of Troy claiming another pair of Big Ten road victories winning at Indiana and Purdue.

The No. 4 USC women's basketball team is 18-1 on the season and remains perfect in Big Ten play after shaking off a pair of sluggish starts, using a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter to win 73-66 at Indiana and then a whopping 41-4 run that featured 31 consecutive points at Purdue to overcome an early 14-5 deficit.

Senior guard Talia von Oelhoffen joins the show for the first time to chat about the Women of Troy's progression this season and how she feels like she's fitting in after transferring from Oregon State. She discusses her role on the team as distributor as well as mentor to USC's freshman guards and what it's like playing beside JuJu Watkins. Von Oelhoffen also talks about what her high-profile athlete parents instilled in her growing up and her desires to coach in the future.

Shotgun and Connor look at where both Trojan teams stand and then looks forward at the upcoming matchups for the men and women. The men have a big rivalry game coming up on Monday as they welcome Mick Cronin's UCLA team and former Trojan Kobe Johnson to the Galen Center for Eric Musselman's first iteration of the Crosstown Showdown. The USC women get a much deserved week off since their last game before facing a ranked Minnesota team at home next Thursday.
