WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Taking the Mackey Arena crowd out of a game isn't an easy task. But midway through the first half, Indiana's Trey Galloway and Kel'el Ware gave it their best effort with an awesome alley-oop.

With the Hoosiers trailing the Boilermakers 20-16 in the first half, Galloway drove into the teeth of the Purdue defense and found Ware unattended on a beautiful pick-and-roll.

Galloway lobbed the ball up to Ware, who slammed it home for an easy bucket, cutting Purdue's lead down to just two points.

Purdue took care of business against Indiana relatively easily during their first meeting in Assembly Hall back in January. The Hoosiers put up a much better fight in the opening half of Saturday's meeting at Mackey Arena.
