Jordan Marshall had a strong showing in his first game, scoring 27 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. Marshall connected on 11 of his 15 shots for the game, including going 4 for 5 from the 3 point line. Jacob Patterson was the only other Red Devil in double figures, scoring 16 points on 7 of 9 shooting.
All 13 of Allen's players saw action in the first game of the season. Allen shot 45% from the floor as a team for the game, and also shot 39% from the 3 point line (12-31).
