Peristyle Podcast - Usc Trojan Football Discussion

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 star
