Dribble Handoff: What we want UCLA, Gonzaga and more to get from college basketball's Santa Claus this year

UCLA coach Mick Cronin made headlines late Tuesday -- first by losing 76-72 to Cal State Northridge to drop to 5-5 on the season, then by explaining in plain terms why his roster is filled with seven freshmen and lacking the experienced and battle-tested veterans other big programs got from the transfer portal. Asked by the Los Angeles Times Ben Bolch if a loss like this makes him question his roster construction, Cronin responded: "We did what we could do. Is your question, 'Did we try to get older transfers?' Absolutely. So did the Reds, but the Dodgers get them."
