Yep, credit where credit is due. Great game tonight.

Nice to see CA out there in crunch time. McGee didn't have his A-game today and it's very valuable that we have 4 guards who we trust at the end of the game.

Also, 11 good minutes from Percy in the second half.

I dont think anyone is saying that Allen cant play, I think they are just upset with his shot selection. Allen was huge tonight.

I haven't ripped him. He's a damn good player and he's been sacrificing by playing out of position all year. He'd be great if he could play SG and off the ball all game with a legit PG.

Glad he's a Cyclone.

Only saw the last play of the game. I have been an allen basher. If you say he id his job then thats good enough for me. Good job Chris Allen when you do things like tonight you are loved in our beloved Ames. Way to go!!

Huge game for Chris Allen, he showed good leadership throughout tonight!

Also Chris Babb is basically giving up playing offense for us right now to play shut down D. He shut down whoever it was that had multiple 3's in the first half.

I'm hard on the guy because he has the ability to be special. Glad he was on our team tonight.

**Cyclonepride** · 01-31-2012, 10:26 PM

He came up huge in the second half tonight. Hustled, made great plays. Very, very good job out of him.

I have been ALL OVER Chris Allen this year. He was fantastic tonight when it counted most, good for him. Really happy for him!

**cyfan92** · 01-31-2012, 10:30 PM

In my opinion hes is the key to this team being special!!!

He and I are friends (not close but we talk) and he came over to my place after the KU game and looked like his dog just died after a huge upset. I know he disappointed in his play but happy for the team.

Great to see him playing up to what you all expect from him! #HiltonMagic!!!

Chris Allen was great tonight.

**joefrog** · 01-31-2012, 10:33 PM

For some reason I just thought Allen would show up big tonight. Glad it worked out. Great job young man, way to bounce back! That is what winners and leaders do. Build on it.

I thought Allen responded absolutely perfectly. He played a controlled game, but was a main contributor. He hustled for balls more than I have ever seen this year. Really solid game from the senior.

Allen played balls out today. Excellent shot decision and making hustle plays all over the court.

I was most impressed with what he did after the game...White and some other guys were playing to the crowd celebrating on the other side of the court and Allen went dragged everyone back to the bench side of the court to shake hands with the K-State players...
