That Allen didn't get any significant minutes, I've already said this. It's actually what you have been replying to.

I was being a smart a**, Allen wasn’t getting minutes because he didn’t deserve them. What would he offer the team that justifies him playing meaningful minutes?

3 point baskets, I don't even want to hear about defense considering nobody could stop St Peter's.

He was 19 percent from 3 this year, he wouldn’t have been the answer. Kentucky was a level above where he would have been to begin with. Western is the level he should be at

I know that he showed more fire with his mouth talking about a rematch than he ever did at UK.

We will never know, you can't give a guy 2 minutes a game tops and expect him to be on point 24/7 when the starters screw up all game long. It's called having a bench, something ccc deems unnecessary.

I’m not the biggest fan of cal but he sees Allen everyday in practice him not playing him should speak to what Allen really is

What about everybody else on the bench, I guess they weren't good enough either huh?

Name me one player in the bench this year that was better than what was starting. Toppin and Frederick are the only ones. Frederick was injured so he doesn’t count. Collins/Hopkins were not ready, slash inconsistent. Hopkins maybe should of gotten more run after the LSU game, but the starters and toppin were Kentuckys best players.

Like I said, none of them got any significant consistent minutes to ever know.

Who does Collins play over who does Hopkins consistently play over

I don't want them to play over anyone, just give them 5 minutes, it's literally the only way to know. Gotta get into a rythm and have confidence. CCC Just yells GOOOOO and benches them in 1 defensive possession. But the starters are getting crucified because the other team went to a 2/3 zone and we just pass it around the 3 point line looking like we have never played basketball before. Just mix things up a bit, but we all know that will never happen.

Nah, just a cal hater. He's had 3 seasons that were worse than Billy g. And he hates Kentucky kids.

I’m mad at Cal too but DA isn’t dropping 60 on us ever. I doubt he even gets 15 unless he shoots out his *** for one game that year.

Calapari will shut it down so we can play butt state. So we will probably never know.

Western won’t be close to as good as last year and we ran them off the court. I wouldn’t worry even if we did because DA isn’t a hidden superstar.

Exactly. If he wants revenge against cal that's one thing but he got nothing but the best from fans

I agree with this ^. He should want to beat Triple C and embarrass him. But the fans (myself included) for the most part wanted him to be great. He knows that.

If we were to play them, the scouting report would be to have his man take him to the basket over and over and over.. make sure to get a switch on him every play. Kid is a huge defensive liability and he had his chance. He should be happy he has a place to play and put UK behind him.

I’m a DA supporter but I wish he had this much confidence on the court. Pretty sure his mouth is writing checks his *** can’t cash. Getting pulled by Cal apparently made him forget every basketball skill he ever had. I wonder what will happen if Kentucky dunks on him? Will he immediately go apply for a job at McDonald’s?

Basically, DA was a little ***** and deserved what he got. The fans loved him but he turned on them. He can be angry at Calipari but he has NO reason to be bitter toward anyone else, and if he is, that’s his problem. He can get wrecked.

Yea no, Allen had numerous chances and was bad in all of them.

Pretty much the same ish was said about Juzang and Mathews. Allen had a good freshman season and was not given a fair opportunity last season even though our best shooter was out for the year.

I'll be very surprised if Allen and Hopkins aren't very productive at their new schools.

Juzang and mattehews are better than Allen is. Allen is at the right level now, western is a good spot for him

I never said they weren't! Allen played 10× better than either of them at UK though. Last year doesn't count because he had no defined role. Calipari sucks more than any UK coach I've ever seen at utilizing his bench.

I'm all for playing them again. Hope DA does well at WKU.

We didn't care what Allen said while he was here. Not sure we will care more now that he's gone. :)
