The Huskies sent Allen’s No. 34 to the rafters during a halftime ceremony, making him the second player in school history — 1995 NCAA champion Rebecca Lobo is the other — to have his number retired. The school has just one criterion for retiring numbers: enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
