Dribbles & Scribbles
-- It's "Cupcake Night" across the college basketball world (see below), as a multitude of Power 5 conference teams have lined up their bountiful final slaughter before heading home for Christmas break. So much for having the spirit of the season! Will there be a Power 5 team that gets served up a piece of "bah humbug" humble pie on their home court? The over-under for cupcake wins is 1/2. I'm banking on FDU over Boston College, a cupcake in its own right.
-- Sunday's Austin Peay @ Kansas City game in Kansas City was canceled due to the sudden death of the Austin Peay bus driver at a pre-game meal.
