Walter Ray Allen was
born July 20, 1975. His jumper has improved significantly since then. He
was the first player in UConn men's basketball history to be named
All-American status as only a sophomore. He was a contender in the
nation's top ten pre season Naismith National Player of the year. He was
the first player to pass the 1000 point at UConn as a sophomore. Ray Allen
helped lead the US to the gold medal at the World University Games in
1995.
Many memorable Ray Allen moments, but most fans probably would
place the awkward game-winner against Georgetown in the 1996 BET title
game at the top of the list. Followed by 13 of the longest seconds in UC
history. Remember that Ricky and Kirk combined for 20 of UC's last 22
points in that game. UC trailed by 11 with 5.5 minutes to go when Travis
fSouled out. Georgetown didn't score again.
