Selden save worth watching over and over and over…

By Matt Tait Jan 21, 2014

It’s a play that everyone was talking about (and probably still is) and one of the finest displays of all-out hustle I’ve ever seen in person.

So why not take another look (or 10) back at the spectacular save made by KU freshman Wayne Selden during Monday’s 78-68 victory over Baylor at Allen Fieldhouse.

Sure, it appears that Selden may have stepped on the line before making the save. But it wasn’t called, it still goes down as a fantastic effort and even the Baylor players were not bent out of shape about the no-call following the loss.

Here’s the video replay of the SportsCenter play of the night, along with a detailed description of everything that went into the save from our own Tom Keegan.
