NEW YORK CITY — When Teddy Allen arrived in Wichita, he quickly became the talk of the town.

Allen was a transfer from West Virginia. Wichita State was visibly lacking experience with three players who had Division I playing experience. Allen not only had Division I experience, he had Big 12 experience. With a knack for scoring, he earned the nickname “Teddy Buckets.”

The NCAA never granted an Allen an eligibility hardship waiver.
