USC Triple-Double Podcast: Previewing rivalry matchup; assistant Kurt Karis talks about his rise from walk-on to Trojans coach

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) previewing USC men's basketball's upcoming rivalry game against UCLA this weekend and breaking down a tough road trip for the USC women's basketball, which lost back-to-back games for the first time this season.The Women of Troy slid out of the top 10 to No. 11 in the Associated Press top 25 poll after losing to No. 20 Utah and No. 3 Colorado on the road. The disappointing campaign for the men's team continued with the Trojans losing their fourth game in a row, falling at Arizona State after turning the ball over 22 times in the game, including 15 times in the first half -- the most by any Power Five team in any half this season.Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at JuJu Watkins and her fouling out with 5:50 remaining at Colorado, focusing the spotlight on Bronny James and looking at exactly where the Trojans stand statistically and in the standings. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they prepare for the Galen Center iteration of the Crosstown Showdown against UCLA while the Women of Troy host Washington and Washington State.USC men's assistant coach Kurt Karis also joins the show to discuss the Crosstown Showdown rivalry and his favorite moments going against the baby blues during his nine years with the Trojans. Karis also talks about his career path and trajectory from Chicago-area native playing at Chicago State to USC walk-on to Trojans' staff member.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojans basketball and football teams.
