ORLANDO -- Bethune-Cookman wraps up its pre-Christmas break road trip with a short jaunt on I-4 (actually we get off I-4 at Sanford and take 417 down) to UCF.

After Christmas break, B-CU opens Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play at Savannah State on January 4 before a two-game home stand with Morgan State and Coppin State 1/9 and 1/11.
