LAWRENCE, Kan. — Wayne Selden picked the right time to tie a career high for 3-pointers, even if it took the sophomore guard some time to heat up Monday as the Kansas Jayhawks topped the Iowa State Cyclones 89-76 in Allen Fieldhouse.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State Rams fancy themselves as some of the nation’ s most rugged rebounders. On Saturday, they showed it.
