The Arizona Wildcats’ senior guard returned to the starting lineup for the first time since injuring his left knee in the season opener on Oct. 12, and scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds in 35 minutes against Northern Colorado.
“It felt great,” Allen said after the 71-55 win. “We’ve been working in practice, coach has been limiting what I can do in practice and tonight he asked me how do I feel, I told him I felt good so he just went off how I felt and I was just out there playing basketball.”
And it’s a good thing Allen did, as the Wildcats might not have been able to hold off the Bears without him.
