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) previewing the 2025-26 USC men's basketball season after the Trojans completed their preseason with a 67-61 victory at Grand Canyon to go 2-0 in exhibition play. But first the podcasting duo are joined by USC head coach Eric Musselman as he is about to embark on his second season with the Trojans. Musselman talks about what the coaching staff learned from the preseason scrimmages and how they use the early exhibitions in their assessment of who to put on the floor when the games actually count starting next week. He discusses his concerns with USC's shooting and offensive flow as well as where he thinks the defense is different this season. Musselman also talks about the emergence of Jerry Easter at the point guard spot and how Youngstown State transfer Gabe Dynes has surprised many with his impact on both ends of the court. Musselm
