导出博客文章INDIANAPOLIS -- Caleb Swanigan wanted to change Purdues image. So after losing
their first two games against ranked opponents this season, the sophomore
forward took matters into his own hands.Swanigan scored half of his 26 points in
the second half to lead No. 15 Purdue past No. 21 Notre Dame 86-81 on
Saturday.We were tired of losing to good opponents, Swanigan said. The second
half, I knew it was time to win.Swanigan, who finished with 10 rebounds, had all
four of his blocks in the second half. Vincent Edwards finished with 20 points
and 10 rebounds, and the Boilermakers won for the first time in the Crossroads
Classic since it began six years ago.Id say it speaks for itself, Edwards said.
We really dont have to say much. We always know were a capable team, and the
coaches call what they see, so I feel like our performance today just showed
that and I feel like it speaks for itself.Swanigans three-point play at the end
of a 13-2 run gave the Boilermakers a 70-67 lead with 9:41 to play.The
Boilermakers (9-2) opened the second half with a 12-2 run to cut the deficit to
four and then went on a 10-0 run midway through the half to take a lead.Swanigan
caused matchup problems for the Fighting Irish (9-2) and the Boilermakers went
with the 6-foot-9 big man over 7-2 Isaac Haas, who played just 2 minutes in the
second half.Notre Dame didnt have any answers.If youre going to help on
Swanigan, youre going to give up a 3, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. And we
finally decided to help because he was crushing us in there.Bonzie Colson had 23
points and 10 rebounds and Matt Farrell finished with 22 points, 10 assists and
five rebounds for Notre Dame, which has lost two straight.We didnt do enough in
the paint, so tough one to swallow for us, Brey said. For us to beat really good
teams like weve had the last two Saturdays, we need our big four to play really
well.Purdue struggled to make baskets in the first half while Notre Dame jumped
ahead and led by as many as 17 points when Martinas Geben made two free throws
to put the Fighting Irish ahead 48-31 with 1:45 remaining in the first
half.Notre Dame led 52-38 at halftime.BIG PICTURENotre Dame: After slipping into
the AP Top 25 two weeks ago, the Fighting Irish have lost two straight. Notre
Dame lost to top-ranked Villanova a week ago.Purdue: The Boilermakers needed
this win after their only two losses this season came against ranked opponents
-- No. 11 Louisville on Nov. 30 and No. 1 Villanova in the second game of the
season. The victory over Notre Dame was the first against a ranked team.BOILERS
FROM LONGPurdue entered the game shooting the ball well from 3-point range,
especially on the road making 55.2 percent. The Boilermakers came in No. 4 in
the nation shooting 44.1 percent overall on 3-point field goals, but struggled
against Notre Dame, especially in the first half. Purdue finished 7 of 18 from
3, but shot just 28.6 percent (2 of 7) in the first half.A RERUNWhen Purdue
started to chip away at the 14-point deficit to start the second half, it seemed
eerily familiar. Notre Dame blew a 16-point lead against Indiana in the
Crossroads Classic a year ago and lost that game 80-73. This time the Fighting
Irish gave up a lead of 17 points.UP NEXTNotre Dame will look to get back on
track at home against Colgate on Monday.Purdue will take the momentum into a
home game against Western Illinois on Monday.---More AP college basketball:

SYDNEY -- Robert Allenby has returned to Australia, aiming to revive his career
after troubles on and off the golf course over the last two years.The
45-year-old Allenby on Wednesday said hed contemplated quitting a thousand times
and gone through periods where he didnt want to be seen in public.He missed the
cut in 21 of the 23 tournaments he played last season on the PGA Tour, including
the Sony Open -- the Hawaiian venue where he had an infamous night out in
January 2015.Allenby was found with severe bruises several hours after visiting
a restaurant with friends after missing the cut at the Sony Open in 2015, and
later claimed to have been abducted and beaten. As serious questions were raised
over his version of events, Allenby admitted he couldnt remember a long period
of the night and must have been drugged. A Hawaii man was later sentenced to
five years in prison for using Allenbys credit cards and identification.That was
by far the lowest point. Just the attention that it caused, Allenby, who is
playing at the New South Wales Open in Sydney this week, was quoted as saying by
the Australian Associated Press on Wednesday. I still stick by my story because
detectives andd
know and even today its the same story.ddddddddddddAllenby
said some media coverage of the incident made it that I didnt want to be out of
the golf course, didnt want to be seen.It really became a very stressful thing
for me and thats when the reality of quitting was really high on the list, he
said.Support from his wife and family just pulled me back, he said, Otherwise I
would have gone a year ago.There have been other off-course issues this year,
including a spat with a caddie and allegations -- which he described as a farce
-- of disorderly conduct outside a casino in Rock Island, Illinois, in August
after missing the cut in the John Deere Classic.Now that hes back on home soil,
though, he is hoping his performances on the course are the focus of attention
during the Australasian tour.He won Australian golfs triple crown -- the
national Open, Masters and Australian PGA -- in 2005, and wants to prove the
critics wrong by topping the tours order of merit to gain an exemption for next
years British Open and more tournaments on the PGA Tour.
