With less than one minute remaining in Indiana’s matchup with Illinois on Saturday, Trey Galloway had an open layup. He burst past Illinois guard Alfonso Plummer and exploded toward the basket. At this point, the outcome of the game was already decided. Illinois was going to leave Assembly Hall with a victory and Galloway’s layup would just slightly alter Indiana’s point total.
As Galloway launched off of his right foot, Illinois center Kofi Cockburn took a hard step as if he was going to contest the shot. But instead of going up for the block, Cockburn let Galloway go by, giving him a free look right at the rim.
