SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Who would’ve thought a junior college transfer guard from Wilmington, North Carolina would be the heart and soul of this Arizona team?

It’s clockwork to dissect a senior whenever they play the final game of the season and ask, “How difficult was it to digest the loss? What do you remember most about your time? What did coach say to you?”

Listen, we get it. We as members of the media and even fans want to know what the ride has been like. What was the journey like for Allen? He’s a two-year starter, a soft-spoken southerner and played in fewer games than Dusan Ristiu0107 and Parker Jackson-Cartwright and was still the veteran leader of Arizona.
