It wasn’t his usual 23 points, but Dontaie Allen was once again an impactful player against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
After not scoring a single point since Kentucky’s win over Central Michigan back on Nov. 29, Allen finally found his opportunity to play meaningful minutes. In an 82-74 overtime win against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Tuesday night, the Bluegrass native finished with five points on 2-6 shooting (1-5 from beyond the arc) to go along with three rebounds and a block in 18 minutes of action.
But it wasn’t the box score where Allen made his presence known; he was making plays on defense, hustling in transition, and throwing down this jaw-dropping putback dunk.
