Dontaie Allen still isn’t ready to step on the Rupp Arena floor for real game action, but tomorrow he will step on the Rupp Arena floor to be celebrated.
Shortly before UK tips off with Georgia Tech, Allen will take centerstage as he is presented with his ring for winning Kentucky’s 2019 Mr. Basketball award. The ceremony will take place 10-15 minutes before tip, tentatively scheduled for the 12:30 mark on the countdown clock, we are told.
Allen was named Mr. Basketball after a record-setting career at Pendleton County. He finished his high school career with 3,255 points, which ranks 11th all-time in state history, despite missing the majority of his senior season with an injury.
