Lavoy Allen sets Temple career rebounding record in win

With Temple greats Eddie Jones, Aaron McKie and Rick Brunson in attendance, Lavoy Allen became Temple's all-time leading rebounder during a 66-52 win over rival St. Joseph's. Allen surpassed the long-standing record of Assistant Athletic Director John Baum. "I got a couple of text messages and guys were like 'We are going to be cheering for you. Go get the record today,'" said Allen, a senior from Morrisville, Pa. Baum shook Allen's hand after the record was announced. "Forty-two years is a long time to keep anything," said Baum, who acknowledged that he told Allen while a freshman that he had the potential to break Baum's record.
