Selby's Late 3 Dents USC's Upset Bid At #3 Kansas

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Josh Selby made his long-awaited collegiate debut one to remember with a go-ahead 3-pointer with 26 seconds left, leading No. 3 Kansas past USC 70-68 on Saturday.

Selby, a freshman point guard ordered by the NCAA to sit out the first nine games, had a team-high 21 points, including five 3-pointers.

The Jayhawks (10-0) held a seemingly comfortable 10-point lead early in the first half before Donte Smith led USC (6-5) on an 11-0 run. Jio Fontan, making his debut for the Trojans after transferring from Fordham, hit two free throws that put USC on top 68-66 with 1:36 left. After Selby's 3-pointer, Tyrel Reed made a free throw for the final margin as Kansas extended its home-court winning streak to 65 games.

Smith had 20 points for USC and Alex Stepheson added 18.
