The Kansas-heavy Team USA roster prevailed again in the World University Games on Sunday morning as the team defeated Brazil, 81-72, during the second pool play game in South Korea.
Sporting new uniforms that were more focused on the United States instead of the Jayhawks, the team overcame a chippy contest with the Brazilians to move to 2-0 in the five-game pool play portion of the event. Trailing 13-11 after the first quarter, the Americans relied on Kansas rising junior wing Wayne Selden to deliver as his three 3-pointers in the second quarter helped give Team USA a lead that they wouldn’t give up.
