John Calipari promised that freshman shooting guard Dontaie Allen would get his shot tonight the former Kentucky Mr. Basketball delivered.
Allen went an incredible 7-for-11 from the three-point line for a game-high 23 points to lead Kentucky past Mississippi State 78-73 in double overtime.
Dontaie Allen has hit five threes. I think he’s earning some more playing time, to say the least. pic.twitter.com/5zhOUc3fkn

Olivier Sarr added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Wildcats (2-6, 1-0 SEC).
DJ Stewart led Missisippi State (6-4, 1-1 SEC) with 19 points.
Dontaie Allen had more 3’s in THIS game than Boston and Clarke have each hit ALL season.
