Dontaie had a great basketball IQ, he knew when to shoot and when to pass. Somehow Cal screams at him and takes him out for not taking a shot. Now he seems completely timid, forced a couple of suspect shots and hasn’t came back in the rest of the game.
Has Cal ruined Dontaie Allen?

Cal being Cal, punish the none 5 stars and let the so called super stars make mistake after mistake.
I agree with most of what you stated. However, Allen should look at it as not having anything to lose and if he goes down, he goes down fighting. Being afraid to shoot is making it easy for Cal to pull him.
To answer your question, yes he has. Cal had forced Allen to take bad shots or sit. Then he sits him for missing.
Exactly what happened in the first half.
Cal is certainly not helping himself with this treatment of Allen.
The worst player on our team averages 30 minutes per game. The most consistent outside shooter who opens the floor up for others - stays on the bench.
Dont know about Allen but he has sure ruined watching ky basketball for me
Criminal and unforgivable imo... cal can F off . I literally despise the guy. He sabotaged a solid player .. he wasn’t great , but he was far better than who was playing in front of him . But he gets no rope when Askew losses us game after game after game .
Make no mistake either , this was intention sabotage
Cal deserves to be roundly and loudly boo”ed like heck next home game .. or better yet please no one attend
Quick question... why do you all watch and pay money to comment if you’re this disgruntled? Go drink a beer and lighten up Francis
Oops thought I was in game thread
allen will be taking advantage of the new transfer rule after this season
This is hilarious
Allen is the same as he's been. There was a reason he wasn't playing a ton

Hot take here but maybe Allen is only getting PT he’s getting because we are really bad.
What has he done to stop the kid from being this super star when he's in the game?
Other than miss st game he's looked avg . How did he ruin something that wasn't there

Allen leaves, will avg 20 at other school. We still loose 4-5 for draft and transfers, same ole song and dance, just another year.
Lmaoooo I’m logging out. Yeah he ruined a player this place is full of degenerates
I hope so , he doesn’t deserve the treatment he has gotten
He seems like the kind of guy that you just put on ignore. He is either a child or an adult with a really low IQ.
Allen gave zero effort when he was in the game in the first half. I’m guessing that’s why he didn’t play more in the second half. At least the rest of the team played hard..
Every time Kentucky had a chance askew was on the bench, and every time we faded Cal had put him back in the game.
I used to love Cal but can’t stand him anymore. I’ll be glad when he’s gone. Why he doesn’t play his best shooter is a joke probably just to get back at the fans. He’ll still play 2-3 bigs at same time and play askew 30-35 mins a game. What an absolute joke of a coach he has become
Exactly right. He barely moves to get open. Slow motion.
The only way UK was winning this game was a fist fight, and Allen isn't ready for that. Just my opinion.
Calipari ruined Allen?? Allen had one solid game and hasn’t done ANYTHING since. He’s not the player so many of you believe he is, yet.He's not THE ANSWER. But I think the general problem people have is that average is better than whatever Askew has been and some others. They play different spots but whatever you have to do as a coach you have to find some other finishing lineup than what we keep going with that still doesn't work.
I can’t believe I have to say this , but it isn’t people think Allen is MJ reinvented , it just thst he might , just maybe , just possibly , be better than Devin Askew .. just maybe . But how will we ever know ? cal isn’t getting embarrassed by Allen going off again . Not gonna happen to Mr Ego
I like Allen and wish he would play “a little” more, but I am getting pretty sick of fans acting like it would make any difference with this **** team and **** coaching. He pretty much sucks just as bad as the rest of this roster.
No the problem is the coach that you slurp over.
In my view it is hard to judge Allen. Boston has a free ride to do about anything and even when he loses his dribble or just takes or throws shots at the basket he seems to know there won't be a consequence. Allen is under pressure to immediately succeed and any mistakes he will be back on the bench. It is hard to play like that. If he was free to take those way out in the court like Missouri was doing and hitting a few he would fit right in with Missouri. But, do that on the Kentucky side he likely is not even given permission to do that because we have to keep that screen and drive to the basket offense.
How dare you make an intelligent and informed observation of the actual game.
Exactly . Cal treats him very unfairly as compared to Askew and Boston . It’s not that Cat fans think Dontae is the ultimate answer and we would be 13-4 with him .. but just the guy equal opportunity .. was there legit reason to not play him tonight in Half two ? Because askew was playing so well ?
