Penn basketball memories: The Allen & Maloney years

One of the greatest back court tandems in Penn history, Jerome Allen and Matt Maloney lit it up for the Quakers in the early 90's. Here's a look back at the father-son rivalry that developed in the Big 5 those years.

Your favorite Penn basketball memory?

I was in Wharton Grad from 1993 to 1995 when we had the amazing Jerome Allen & Matt Maloney back court. It was truly incredible to see teams trying to stop those two guys. Well my favorite memory was seeing Penn in Big Five action against Temple those years. Matt Maloney's father was an assistant to then Temple coach, John Chainey... I think (not sure) but Temple chose not to recruit Matt, that and playing against (in front) of his Dad, all the Temple players knowing knowing who Matt was, always brought the best out of both Maloneys! Seeing Matt sink a three with two Temple guts in his face was particularly great — these games, as in general seeing future professionals Allen & Maloney, were a real treasure.
