John Calipari says Dontaie Allen chose not to play late against UNC

With Kentucky steamrolling North Carolina late, John Calipari unloaded his bench. Lance Ware, Bryce Hopkins and Daimion Collins all saw some run — an extended one for Ware, at that — followed by Zan Payne, Brennan Canada and Kareem Watkins all taking the floor for the final minute.

Noticeably absent from that group? Dontaie Allen, who failed to register a minute of play for a second consecutive game. He’s now played just three total minutes since November.

With Kentucky leading by as many as 35 points in the win, why didn’t Allen get any run?
