The Golden Eagles came out of the gate firing on all cylinders, rushing out to a 7-0 lead in the opening moments of the game's first half thanks to some nice hustle by Grumley and BJ Andrews, however the transition speed and size of the Panthers in the paint proved to be a tough obstacle for the Blue and Gold to overcome.

Although CU made the most of their chances from the free throw line and  knocked down four three-pointers, they could not outlast teh Panthers Friday evening.
