Kansas-led U.S. basketball team wins World University Games in two OTs

Posted Jul 15, 2015
In the final seconds, when the comeback was complete, Wayne Selden clutched a basketball in his right hand and flung it high into the air inside Yeomju Gymnasium. The ball sailed into the stands. The clock hit zero. And a wave of red, white and blue flooded onto the floor. In the middle of the celebration, Frank Mason found a large American flag and draped it over his shoulders, like a Superman cape. Somehow, after a double-overtime classic, after nearly losing — twice — the United States had claimed gold at the World University Games with an 84-77 victory over Germany. (Wichita Eagle)
