Allen Men's Basketball won 75-68 at home Saturday evening in a conference match up against the Cowley Tigers.

From there Allen would respond and went on to dominate the first half of play. Allen would take a 12 point lead into the halftime break with the score of 42-30. Allen's full court pressure was able to cause Cowley some fits, and the Red Devils held Cowley to just 28.1% shooting in the first half of play.

Cowley picked up their offense in the second half and cut into Allen's lead. Cowley eventually cut the lead down to 2 points in the final few minutes of play, but Jermaine Long responded with a huge 3 pointer to bump the lead back up to 5 points, and the Red Devils were able to keep the lead through the last couple minutes of play. George Tingling came off the bench in the second half and really helped Allen defend the paint, as Cowley was having success scoring at the rim until Tingling came in and protected the rim better for Allen.
