CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein aroused the ire of some Cincinnati Bearcats fans with a tweet Monday night suggesting that the UCLA Bruins - without their top three scorers (Kris Wilkes, Jaylen Hands and Moses Brown) from last season's 17-16 team that finished seventh in the Pac-12 and lost convincingly to UC - have a more talented roster than new head coach Mick Cronin ever had during his 13 seasons as head coach of the Bearcats.
In December, the Bruins lost by 29 at Fifth Third Arena, just days before UCLA fired head coach Steve Alford.
