PHILADELPHIA – Temple University senior forward Lavoy Allen was named the recipient of the Robert V.

Allen was joined on the first team all-Big 5 by his teammate, junior guard Ramone Moore while Temple junior guard Juan Fernandez was named to the second team. The awards will be presented at the Philadelphia Big Five banquet, Monday, April 25 in the Fox-Gittis Room at the Liacouras Center.

He also moved into third place on the all-time blocked shots list with 213 and his 98 career wins in a Cherry and White uniform place him eighth in program history.
