    From the article:
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Police are not calling Allen a suspect, and he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.</div>

    I don't think we have anything to worry about.

    Yeah, and Bynum made the shoot to beat Allen's Oklahoma State in the NCAA Tournament two years ago.

    I'm sure this is no big deal. If anyone got to see Allen on that bench or listen to him to talk about the team last year, we now he's not the kind to go shooting up a night club. Of course, you can't judge a book by the cover, but near as I can tell, he seems like a kid with his head in the right place. I would love to see him start some more this year in the beginning of the season, it will take a strong output from Ryan Gomes to see Allen benched again.

    Looks like Allen might be in some serious trouble.

    This is horrible news.</div>


    When the cops wouldn't confirm the statement, even after talking to the victim, you know it's BS. They would have jumped all over the situation and made sure that there was nothing more pressing involved in Allen's interrogation. I have no doubt that Allen will be cleared and we can all laugh about this over a beer someday.

    Uhh! Tell me it aint so!

    I cant say hes innocent but he seems like a good kid. HOpefully this goes away and there wont be a trial or anything. Unless he plans on playing like Kobe did when he was on trial. Then im all for it. [​IMG]
