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.

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.
