The Utes’ leading scorer was named Pac-12 Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 25.5 points on 58.3% shooting last week in a pair of wins. Allen scored 27 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists in a come-from-behind overtime win over BYU on Wednesday, then tallied 24 points in just 26 minutes in a rout of Central Arkansas on Saturday. Allen also had eight rebounds and five assists in that one.
“He’s doing a nice job leading us. I thought he did a nice job sharing the ball at times,” Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak said postgame Saturday.
