Impact Allen matched his season high in minutes during this late loss the Horned Frogs. His solid overall production wound up being rather crucial for the Red Raiders, as leading scorer Kevin Obanor posted his worst all-around shooting performance of the season to go along with five turnovers. While Allen's only appearance on second-half box score came via one turnover and a personal foul, this solid performance is an encouraging sign for his potential contributions heading into the remainder of the conference schedule. Texas Tech's next contest will come versus No. 4 Kansas on Tuesday.

However, Allen is still converting just 42.9 percent of his 1.8 field-goal attempts per game, and his role in the Red Raiders' frontcourt decrease once center Fardaws Aimaq (foot) returns to the lineup sometime at the end of December.

Available but DNP Allen did not see the court in Saturday's 78-65 victory over West Virginia.
Impact Allen has now missed three consecutive games due to illness, though he wasn't necessarily a featured rotation player prior to Saturday's outing. His best single-game minutes total this season is 15, and he saw three minutes combined in the three Big 12 games prior to the absence. It's possible the JUCO transfer is simply seeing decreased playing time as conference play heats up, which would also make sense if he's still anything less than 100 percent.
