New Mexico State guard Teddy Allen: ‘I look at myself as one of the best’

Rookie Wire recently caught up with Allen to discuss the pre-draft process, what he is looking to showcase to teams and much more.

Fresh off of an incredible senior year with New Mexico State, Teddy Allen is looking to continue that momentum and carry it into the NBA pre-draft process.

Allen was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year after averaging 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 34 games with the Aggies. He paced the team in nearly every statistical category, including points, rebounds and steals.

The 6-foot-6 guard also led the conference in scoring, while ranking 29th in the country among all Division I players. Allen finished 13th in the NCAA in free throws made (163) and 33rd in free-throw percentage (87.6).

Behind his play throughout the season, the Aggies captured their fourth WAC regular-season title in the last five seasons and the outright championship in the conference tournament to claim an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

On the biggest stage in the sport, Allen showed out in an upsetting fashion.

Allen erupted for 37 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals to lead the 12th-seeded Aggies to a win over No. 5 seed UConn, their first tournament victory since 1993. He scored 23 points alone in the second half, including each of the Aggies’ last 15.

They would go on to lose in the next round to No. 4 seed Arkansas.

The outing capped off a long collegiate journey for Allen.

He started off by playing one season at West Virginia under head coach Bob Huggins before landing at Western Nebraska Community College. He eventually returned to Division I with Nebraska before transferring to New Mexico State prior to this season.

Allen announced after the season that he would declare for the NBA draft. He has been training in Arizona with other prospects, sometimes as many as three times a day. He has been busy meeting and working out with teams all in hopes of earning his next opportunity in the NBA.

Rookie Wire recently caught up with Allen to discuss the pre-draft process, what he is looking to showcase to teams, his collegiate career and much more.

The independents are all in interesting situations.

Former Big 12er BYU won’t be on its own for much longer, Liberty will once again be a thorn in the sides of several Power Five teams, Army should rip through its schedule, and New Mexico State, Notre Dame, UConn, and UMass are all starting the 2022 season with new head coaches.

The rankings are based on how good the teams should be and not the final projected records. Keeping in mind that this all could/might/will change when we make the final calls in August …

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Chicago State shocked New Mexico State with a huge upset and sent bettors spiraling

What a wonderful taste of March.

No one has ever confused the Chicago State men for having a great basketball program. In 38 years of the program’s history, the Cougars have precisely two winning seasons to their name. They haven’t even finished with double-digit wins since 2014. A powerhouse, this is not.

Coming into Saturday, New Mexico State (-16.5) was supposed to humble the Cougars. They were supposed to give Chicago State and first-year head coach Gerald Gillion a taste of the medicine that, by now, they are very familiar with.

Unfortunately, no one told Chicago State that they were supposed to roll over this close to March (depending on whom you ask anyway).

Hello Monumental Upset.

A 61-59 win on the strength of a driving layup from junior Brandon Betson — only the second-ever win for Chicago State over New Mexico State in 23 tries. A 17-point underdog shocking a massive favorite is perhaps understated now.

Do you think that was the highlight win of Betson’s career? Absolutely. Do you think that was maybe the best win for Chicago State in decades? Let’s say, probably!

We’re this close to this March. Thank the heavens for Chicago State for giving us a small appetizer of the chaos that will soon ensue.
