SAN DIEGO
Two years later, Wayne Selden prefers the memory to be short and simple. If the loss haunts, he will not show it. If its serves as fuel, he is keeping his feelings close to the vest.
On the afternoon of Jan. 5, 2014, the Kansas Jayhawks played host to the San Diego State Aztecs inside Allen Fieldhouse and absorbed a 61-57 defeat. Selden was a freshman guard then, a member of a recruiting class that featured Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid. The loss snapped a 68-game home winning streak against nonconference opponents, tagged Kansas coach Bill Self with his ninth home loss, and offered painful baptism for a young Kansas team.
