NEW YORK — Florida sophomore guard KeVaughn Allen set a career-high and UF NCAA Tournament record with 35 points in the 84-83 OT win over Wisconsin on late Friday night.
Allen did it in front of a special spectator, his mom, Ahna Curry, who has been to a handful of Gator games this season.
“She raised me the right way, so I give her all the credit for the night,” Allen said Saturday. “Just the way that she raised me and the young man I grew up to be.”
Florida football coach Jim McElwain had predicted earlier in the week that Allen would have a breakout game against the Badgers.
