Milwaukee, Wis. -- Senior Brooks Allen came away with his second career 20-point game to lead St. Thomas Men's Basketball to a 76-72 win over Milwaukee Wednesday afternoon in Milwaukee, Wis.
 
The Tommies have now won three straight games, the first instance for the program since joining NCAA Division I.
 
The game started with three lead changes before Allen hit his first basket, one of his four 3-pointers, to bring the Tommies within two, 16-14, eight minutes into play. Following a 3-pointer from Milwaukee to push the lead back to five, Ahjany Lee put in a dunk to start an 8-0 run for a 22-19 lead. The lead traded sides six times before the end of the half, including an and-one opportunity by Will Engels to give the Tommies a 35-33 lead with three seconds left.
 
The Tommies led for the entirety of the second half, separating midway through the period for a double-digit lead. Riley Miller sank his fourth of five 3-pointers to push the Purple's lead to 11, 64-53, with 7:27 to play. The Panthers cut the lead to four five minutes later and two with 37 seconds left. Allen sank 4-of-4 free throw attempts over the final 1:26 while he assisted on a full-court pass that led to an Andrew Rohde dunk to seal the win.
 
Allen went 5-of-7 from the floor, and 4-of-5 from behind the arc, while sinking 6-of-8 from the free throw line. He added a team-high six assists and six rebounds with two blocks. Miller finished with 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting and 5-of-11 from 3-point range.
 
Ahjany Lee led the team with seven rebounds to go along with nine points while making his second start of the season. Kendall Blue came off the bench and finished with 10 points, his fourth game this season in double figures.
 
The Tommies have shot above 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from long range in each of their last three games. St. Thomas scored 20 points off 18 Milwaukee turnovers.
 
St. Thomas travels Saturday, Nov. 29 to take on Utah with a tip-off at 7 p.m. central time in Salt Lake City, Utah.
