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 how the USC women clinched the Big Ten regular-season championship with a thumping of No. 2 UCLA at Pauley Pavilion while the Trojan men snapped a five-game losing streak.

It was a huge week for the women with JuJu Watkins earning Big Ten Player of the Year honors and Lindsay Gottlieb winning the conference's Coach of the Year award. Kiki Iriafen and Watkins were unanimous first-team All-Big Ten picks, Rayah Marshall and Watkins made the conference's All-Defense team and Kennedy Smith made the Big Ten's All-Freshmen team. 

On the men's side, Desmond Claude returned to form scoring 25 points and dishing out a career-high 11 assists in a 92-61 win over Washington Wednesday night after being held to just one point in the Trojans' road loss at Oregon. Chibuzo Agbo added 26 points in the win over the Huskies while Rashaun Agee played his best week of basketball in his career. Agee recorded new career highs in points, blocks and steals against the Ducks before an efficient 18-point performance in Wednesday's win.

After recapping the game action, Shotgun and Connor then look at where both Trojan teams stand and glance forward at the upcoming matchups for both squads. They preview the Women of Troy's path in the Big Ten Tournament, and they also discuss the men's Crosstown Showdown road matchup with UCLA and what it will take for the Trojans to make the Big Ten Tournament.
