THE MORNING BREW
Coach Bill Self gives sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. a smile as he walks off the floor at the end of the Jayhawks' 62-52 victory against the Baylor Bears on March 13 at the Sprint Center. Selden announced Friday that he will return for next season.
Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. to play another season with Jayhawks
Coming into his first season at Kansas, Wayne Selden Jr. had high expectations.
Selden was projected as a lottery pick in the 2014 NBA draft, but his performance during his freshman campaign did not see him leaving school. A year later, Selden decided to stay for one more year after another up-and-down season at Kansas during his sophomore campaign.

Selden, a 6-foot-5 guard out of Roxbury, Mass., has started in every game he has played at Kansas. Selden was also a McDonald's All-American before coming to the University. His freshman year, he played in 35 games, and this year, he played in 36. During his freshman season, Selden averaged 9.7 points and was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection. Selden broke out during his freshman season with a then-career-high 24 points
in his first Big 12 Conference game against Oklahoma. The previous week, Selden was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
In his first two games in the NCAA Tournament, Selden scored only a combined four points against Eastern Kentucky and Stanford. Two days later, Selden had announced via Twitter that he would be returning to Kansas for
his sophomore season.
Selden entered the 2014-15 season with high expectations as former Kansas players Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Tarik Black entered the NBA. Selden stayed at his average with 9.8 points in 36 games in Kansas' secondstraight exit from the NCAA Tournament in the Round of 32. Selden broke out in three different
games this past season — the first was the 18-point comeback against Florida in December, in which Selden scored 21 points. He didn't have another big game until March 13, in which he had 20 points against Baylor. Selden then had his best game as a Jayhawk on March 14, scoring a career-high 25 points in the loss against Iowa State.
Selden suffered an ankle injury late in the season, keeping him from playing to his full potential in the final two conference games against West Virginia and Oklahoma.
Expect Selden to take more of a leadership role in his junior season. Kansas will have three main seniors: Jamari Traylor, Hunter Mickelson and Perry Ellis, if he decides to return. Sophomore guards Frank Mason and Brannen Greene will return as well, along with freshman guards Devonte' Graham and Svi Mykhailiuk.
If Selden wants to go to the NBA, next year will have to be his best in a Kansas uniform.
Kansas rowing shows its strength in two-day Knecht Cup

In its last regatta before Big 12 competition, the Kansas rowing team showed it belongs at the top. Rob Catloth's team never finished below third place in an event final.
The two-day Knecht Cup featured some of the best schools in the country, including three of the nation's top 20 teams. Kansas competed in its heats Saturday, which
qualified them to move on to Sunday's races. In some instances the Jayhawks competed in semifinals, while in other races, they moved directly into finals.
Kansas won four of its five heats, with all of the varsity teams moving on to compete on Sunday. In events with semifinals, the top two boats of each semifinal went on to the grand final, while the next two went to the petite final and the next two went to the third final.
The Second Varsity Four boat took first in its heat, finishing 10 seconds ahead of its closest competition. That was good enough to move the team into the grand final, where it finished less than two seconds behind Tulsa for second place. The First Varsity Four boat, led by coxswain Mallory Miller, a sophomore from Pleasant Hill, Mo., finished first in its heat, which qualified the team for Sunday's races. The First Varsity Four team finished
third in its semi and competed in the Petite Finals later that day. It ended up 1.8 seconds behind Bucknell in that race.
semifinal, just 0.7 seconds behind Buffalo. The team proceeded to blow away the competition in the Petite Final, finishing at least two seconds ahead of all competitors.
The First and Third Varsity Eight boats won their first heats, which was good enough to put them both into the semifinals Sunday. The First Varsity Eight boat, led by seniors Brooke Thuston, from Kearney, Mo., and Claudijah Lever, from Milwaukee, and coxswain Mary Slatter, a junior from Lenexa, finished third in the
The Third Varsity Eight boat used a dominating performance in its heat to earn an automatic bid to the finals, where it squared off with the winner of the other heat: Boston College. The Jayhawks finished less than two seconds off the lead, but their time was
good enough to earn their third top-two finish of the day
Next up the Jayhawks will begin conference competition in the big 12 & Big Ten Double Dual on April 25.
Overall the Jayhawks never finished outside the top three in any varsity event final and managed to capture one win as Lever led her boat to victory in the First Varsity Eight Petite Finals.
