It’s mostly a coincidence that the younger Allen, a junior guard at Emerson, landed at a college in downtown Boston, across the street from Boston Common.
Though he plays his home games in the shadow of TD Garden, one mile from the Celtics’ arena, his Division III program is a far cry from the big leagues, illustrated by the attendance of 293 for the 71-67 win against Western Connecticut. He is forging his own basketball journey, one he calls an “unorthodox path.” After playing for his father at Gulliver Prep, a high school in Pinecrest, Fla., he started his college career as a preferred walk-on at Rhode Island before transferring to Emerson before the start of his sophomore season.
