The Panthers took on Chapel Hill at home Tuesday night, Jan. 24 but came up short losing 65-80.

Bullard played catch-up the whole game after a 10-2 lead taken by Chapel Hill. When the Panthers made any attempt to cut into the deficit, Chapel Hill made big shots making the come-back difficult for Bullard.
