Calipari on why he didn’t play Dontaie Allen more vs. Auburn

On the list of frustrating things about Kentucky’s 66-59 loss to Auburn, Dontaie Allen’s lack of playing time in the second half has to be at the top of the list. Allen played 15 minutes in the first half, scoring eight points on 3-5 shooting, but only played eight minutes in the second, missing two threes and a free throw. After the game, John Calipari said the reason Allen didn’t play more in the second half was he didn’t take advantage of the open looks he had.

At the end of the day, we were running stuff for Dontaie and he wouldn’t shoot the ball.
