Summary

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 latest USC hoops action as both the men's and women's teams went 1-1 in the last week with the results featuring a pair of top 10 upsets. The USC men recorded the biggest win of the Eric Musselman era last weekend when the Trojans beat No. 7 Michigan State at home 70-64. Point guard Desmond Claude injured his knee, was sent to the locker room and sat out six minutes, but managed to return to the game and scored a team-high 19 points. Claude did however miss USC's next contest due to what is being called a bone bruise, and the Trojans fell 77-75 in dramatic fashion on the road to Northwestern. USC had stormed back from 15 down only toe give up the game-winning basket in the final seconds. The Women of Troy lost their first conference game of the season on the road at Iowa, 76-69, last weekend. USC got off to an awful start to trail 18-1, but battled back to take a lead into halftime. Lindsay Gottlieb's team struggled in the fourth quarter though, particularly on defense allowing Iowa to score 25 points in the final frame. The Women of Troy bounced back to beat Wisconsin on the road 86-64 Wednesday night. USC men's basketball senior forward Rashaun Agee also joins the showto talk about returning to his home state of Illinois to play Northwestern. He also discussed Musselman's coaching style, what the Big Ten road trips have been like for USC and much more. Agee has been playing his best basketball of the season lately averaging 12 points per game in USC's last seven contests. Shotgun and Connor then look at where both Trojan teams stand and forward at the upcoming matchups where another pair of top 10 matchups loom this weekend. The men finish up their road trip with at trip to West Lafayette to take on No. 2 Purdue Friday while the USC women return home to take on No. 8 Ohio State in the Galen Center Saturday.
