D’Angelo Allen is from Dallas, Texas, — the Lone Star state — and on Saturday, he was the star of the night for Missouri.
The 6-foot-7 sophomore forward is averaging 8.2 minutes per game this year, which ranks third worst among the 13 players on the roster. On Saturday, though, against Auburn, Allen played 12 minutes, scored seven points and grabbed four rebounds to spark Mizzou to a 76-61 victory.
“D’Angelo was tremendous tonight,” freshman forward Kevin Puryear said post-game. “I’m super proud of him and super happy for him. You know, he’s been through a lot this season and to see him have a moment like that, he’s definitely deserving.
